This guide by A4S sets out why it’s important to adapt traditional risk management processes to respond to macro sustainability trends. It provides examples of how to overcome uncertainty associated with their impact in order to be better integrated into business decisions.

Article 173 amends the Monetary and Financial Code by making climate-related disclosure mandatory for asset owners and asset managers in France.

This special report by IEA, part of the World Energy Outlook series, assesses the effect of recent low-carbon energy developments and the INDCs proposed thus far. This report also proposes the adoption of five measures that would achieve a near-term peak in global energy-related emissions while maintaining momentum for stronger national efforts.

This report analyses the extent of the impact of climate change on institutional investment portfolios and identifies a series of pragmatic steps for institutional investors to consider including allocation to climate-sensitive assets and the adoption of an “early warning” risk management process.

With many emerging markets highly exposed to climate-related risks, the response of private companies in vulnerable regions is not only instrumental to tackling the climate emergency but also essential to building robust and resilient economies.  Despite this, many corporations operating in these geographies do not yet sufficiently consider their exposure to risks from the physical impacts of climate change and those arising from the transition to low-carbon economies when making business and investment decisions.

A previous FT Digital Dialogue compared climate-related financial disclosure levels in emerging and developed markets and how any disclosure gap is likely to affect emerging market corporates’ access to capital.  This event, organised in partnership with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), focused on the practical steps companies in emerging markets could take to manage climate risks and identify new business opportunities. How can organisations best integrate key climate-related risk strategies and strengthen climate-related financial management and disclosure? What progress has been made in emerging markets and in which key ways can comprehensive climate-related financial management and disclosure be a competitive advantage when accessing capital?

This Climate Change Physical Risk Toolkit helps asset owners and managers better understand and manage the potential physical impacts of climate change on their investments.

The Toolkit includes:

• An investor perspective on the scientific and macroeconomic context for understanding physical climate change risks;
• A step-by-step scoping methodology to identify physical climate risks and opportunities, with an illustrative case study to demonstrate how the methodology can be applied;
• A Disclosure Guide with criteria to support an investor’s assessment of physical risk disclosures and metrics; and
• A Resource Guide of credible third party sources of information on climate risks and opportunities, accessible on the ILN website as a searchable, interactive database.

Provides an introduction to scenario analysis and climate scenarios, including the Network for Greening the Financial System’s six scenarios for different transition and warming futures, and offers guidance on conducting scenario analysis and provides data sources for companies.

Aimed at finance teams within companies, but offering lessons applicable across other business functions, this guide explains the meaning of net-zero and its importance, before setting out how companies can practically pursue these ambitions.

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 FT Digital Dialogue, organised in partnership with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), discussed how strategic investors in emerging markets can help shift capital flows to support climate action and corporates can reduce risks and maintain access to capital by working together to improve climate-related governance and disclosure.
