Financial institutions are increasingly prioritizing climate-related risks and opportunities as part of their financial planning and budding climate strategies.

The TCFD outlines recommendations to manage climate-related risks and opportunities, including the application of internal carbon pricing in scenario analysis, which banks can incorporate into investment decisions across their portfolios.

Internal carbon pricing has emerged as a critical forward-looking metric that can help organizations manage climate-related transition risks and opportunities.

This document provides readers with insights into the methodologies that Carbon Delta employs to assess climate change risks and opportunities within corporations.

This guidance provides a relevant and timely spotlight on the uncertainty that global warming and climate change are causing, and the specific issues that need to be considered by standard setters, stock exchanges, investors, and the corporate and accounting communities to help respond to the systemic risks.

This report discusses some of the most important recent developments and provides the first attempt at quantifying the uptake of carbon asset risk (CAR) assessment and management. In the past few years, CAR has gone from a fringe topic discussed primarily by NGOs to a serious consideration of some of the largest companies in the world.

This report chronicles major shifts in the financial landscape since the launch of the Carbon Asset Risk ("CAR") Initiative, launched in September 2013 by Ceres and the Carbon Tracker Initiative with support from the Global Investor Coalition.

This document provides a discussion framework to evaluate the non-physical risks to carbon assets, such as policy, market, and technology risks, associated with carbon and climate change.

The objective of this study is to analyze the origins and characteristics of the carbon and water footprints in order to understand their similarities and differences and to derive lessons on how society and business can adequately build on the two concepts. It compares the two concepts from a methodological point of view and discusses response mechanisms that have been developed, with the hope that experiences in one field might be able to benefit the other

In this case study, part of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Integration Insights series, PineBridge Investments explains how it uses SASB’s framework to help build TCFD-ready, climate-resilient portfolios. Leveraging SASB’s focus on financial materiality, PineBridge defines sector-specific, climate-stress scenarios that allow it to readily incorporate key climate exposures alongside traditional risk-adjusted portfolio metrics, enhancing its analysis and facilitating more effective mitigation of the risks associated with a transition to a low-carbon economy.

As part of GARP Risk Institutes Climate Risk webcast series Jason Eis, Executive Director of Vivid Economics, focuses on the transition risks that are likely to arise from the process of adjusting toward a lower carbon economy.

In this edition of our Climate Risk webcast series, Jason Eis, Executive Director of Vivid Economics, addresses the transition risks likely to arise from the process of adjusting toward a lower carbon economy.

This webcast will focus on the transition risks likely to arise from the process of adjusting toward a lower carbon economy. Through this webinar you will gain an understanding of:

• The nature of the transition risks and how these will generate significant financial risks for firms
• Emerging frameworks for embedding transition risks into existing risk management practices
• The critical role of scenario analysis to understand and quantify these risks

This report identifies the principal areas and issues to be addressed by both public and private financial institutions in the process of mainstreaming climate change and supporting the low-carbon, climate-resilient (LCCR) economy. It is based principally on a desk review and the experience of public development finance institutions and in depth case studies that I4CE has conducted. This report’s focus on DFIs as they have in some cases well over a decade of experience on addressing climate-related issues in their policies and analysis of individual projects.
