On Climate Risks, Sustainability, & Change

Why Climate Risk Integration Is No Longer Optional in Financial Portfolios

In a world where climate events are reshaping economies and markets, integrating climate risk into financial portfolios is not just a matter of responsibility, it's a matter of performance.

 Physical risks: from extreme weather to sea-level rise, are already impacting asset values and supply chains.

Transition risks: such as policy shifts, carbon pricing, and changing consumer preferences, are rapidly altering the competitive landscape across sectors.

Financial institutions that embed climate risk into their portfolio strategies are not only managing downside exposure, but also unlocking opportunities in the low-carbon transition.

- Climate stress testing

- Scenario analysis aligned with NGFS or IEA pathways

- Forward-looking ESG and emissions data

- Engagement over exclusion strategies

These are no longer tools for the few, they are fast becoming industry standard.

According to the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), over 80 central banks now expect financial institutions to integrate climate risks into governance, strategy, and disclosure frameworks.
