Investing during a climate crisis
Scenario analysis helps investors understand the climate crisis and the associated investment risks.
The devastating consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly apparent and are expected to remain at the forefront of the global political discourse for the foreseeable future.
An increasing number of financial institutions are proactively seeking to understand their exposure to climate change-related risks and opportunities.
This has led to the development of climate scenario analysis as a tool to help investors undertake a structured exploration of a range of plausible future outcomes to quantify how certain climate-related financial risks and opportunities could manifest.
