This report shows how through persistent engagement on climate change risks – either via private dialogue or through public challenge using shareholder resolutions, or both – institutional investors are having a major influence on the conduct and board-level decision-making of key oil and gas majors.

The World Energy Outlook (WEO) is published every year by the IEA providing energy-market analysis and projections. It uses a scenario-based approach to highlight the key choices, consequences, and contingencies that lie ahead, and to illustrate how the course of the energy system may be affected by changing some of the key variables.

This report outlines the Environment Agency Pension Fund's climate change investment beliefs, principles and goals and their progress towards them. The report utilizes the scenario analysis developed by Mercer in their study "Investing In a Time of Climate Change" as the primary resource to assess and monitor climate risk.

This webpage is the home of the Modelling System for Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change (MOSAICC) developed by the UNFAO in partnership with European. MOSAICC takes an interdisciplinary approach integrating five main model components to provide a tool to carry out climate change impact assessment at the national level.

The home of Europe's Climate Information Portal (CLIPC) that provides access to Europe's climate data and information. CLIPC information includes data from satellite and in-situ observations, climate models, data re-analyses, and transformed data products enabling impact assessments and assessment of climate change impact indicators

IIASA's Energy Program hosts a number of climate scenario databases for the integrated assessment modelling community, with some open to the wider public.

This US EPA webpage provides resources for a number of climate models, tools and databases.

This US EPA webpage provides details of and resources for the CREAT risk assessment application that helps water utilities to adapt to extreme weather events by better understanding current and long-term weather conditions.

The Global Calculator is a free and interactive tool that helps you to understand the link between our lifestyles, the energy we use, and the consequences for our climate. It is aimed at anyone interested in exploring what a low-carbon world could look like in 2050.

The Global Water Tool (GWT) is a free, publicly available resource for identifying corporate water risks and opportunities which provides easy access to and analysis of critical data. It includes a workbook (data input, inventory by site, key reporting indicators, metrics calculations), a mapping function to plot sites with datasets, and a Google Earth interface for spatial viewing.

This website explores charts, maps and data of observed and projected climate variables for California. The tools show projections for two possible climate futures, one in which emissions peak around 2040 and then decline (RCP 4.5) and another in which emissions continue to rise throughout the 21st century (RCP 8.5).

This report provides the estimated return implications under the four climate scenarios and four climate risk factors, modelled over a 35 year time period, with commentary on the specific implications for OPTrust. The return estimates developed as part of this research apply at the total portfolio, asset class and industry sector levels.
