I’m looking forward to joining a conversation on the topic of climate adaptation and resilience at the Climate Action and United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) 7th Sustainable Investment Forum in Paris next week, alongside a great panel of speakers. The importance of adapting to physical climate risks is fast moving up the agenda for many investors – but it can be hard to know how to get started. Financial institutions face a range of challenges in this space, but I’m excited to speak about the progress that’s being made and the outlook for adaptation investing. #sustainableinvesting #climatechange

Global goals through the lens of finance, trade and investments. Our co-founder Anja Ipp in a conversation on the global economy with fellow experts Aranabha Gosh (Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW)), Michael Franczak (International Peace Institute (IPI)), Rens Van Tilburg (Sustainble Finance), and Inés Jiménez Rodriguez (Climate Strategies), in a program under the heading "Navigating toward a just world on a safe planet". This discussion followed a high-level debate on the current state of global governance in which, admittedly, perspectives at times appeared grim. But in the end, it is in forums like these where valuable, new ideas are born. Many thanks to the Global Challenges Foundation for making space for energizing conversations.

In this paper we discuss the integration of climate risk assessment into financial portfolios. Through the use of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), we examined how climate policy uncertainties impact investments, focusing on government bonds and equities. We introduce methodologies for calculating Climate Value at Risk (VaR) and distinguish between green and brown investment strategies, aiming to guide stakeholders in making informed decisions amidst a transitioning economy.

This supplement offers practical, science-based research to guide investment decisions in the evolving landscape of #climatechange. 

The Green Finance Research Advances conference took place last week with insightful keynotes by Emmanuel Hache, Dr Nicola Ranger and Marcin Kacperczyk, a very stimulating presentation of the recent NGFS report on nature-related financial risks by Romain Svartzman, who outlined an exciting research program (pictured), great panels and contributed talks. Here are some broad lessons I learned at this conference (purely subjective) Over the last two years, the study of nature-related financial risks made a leap forward: where there used to be only qualitative and exposure-based assessment, now model-based quantitative risk assessments are starting to appear. A lot of work remains to be done but the domain is moving in the right direction. In portfolio alignment and net zero investment, the focus shifted from backward looking approaches based on carbon footprint to forward-looking approaches grounded in transition plans and other measures of company’s contribution to the green transition of the economy. The study of climate related financial risks is moving forward with new quantitative models evaluating the impact of climate risks on corporate and sovereign bonds. #greenfinance #climatescience

🌍✨ Can the world truly achieve climate justice without addressing the severe financial gaps faced by developing countries? As we grapple with the escalating impacts of climate change, the stakes have never been higher. Let’s dive into the untold story of how bridging the climate finance gap can turn the tide for vulnerable nations. ✨🌍 Hi everyone, My name is Xinyu Gong, and I am from the University of New South Wales. As a finance major with a deep passion for climate action and sustainability, I embarked on a journey to understand SDG 13 (Climate Action) and its impact on developing countries through this course. I delved into the challenges these countries face, such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to agriculture. Using data visualisation, I highlighted the share of GDP of these countries and the gap between climate finance pledges and actual disbursements. This project underscores the importance of international cooperation and financial support for developing countries to effectively tackle climate change. Reflection: This course has been incredibly enlightening, deepening my understanding of the critical role that finance plays in addressing climate change challenges. I have learned how to tell compelling stories through data and gained valuable insights into international cooperation and sustainable development. This journey has been both challenging and rewarding, reinforcing my commitment to using my finance skills to drive meaningful change in the world. Self-Assessed Score: Reflecting on my journey and the knowledge I have gained, I would confidently rate my experience and efforts in this course a solid 9 out of 10. There’s always room for growth, but I am proud of the progress I've made and the skills I've acquired. @Poon Leung #unswDataVisComm

The depth and application of their climate transition framework and PRI's ASCOR framework were truly enlightening. 🌱💼 Key takeaways included: ✅Life insurers' role in impacting climate change through bond portfolios and tools for engagement. ✅In-depth analysis of individual securities, focusing on corporate balance sheets to assess climate risks and opportunities. ✅A comparative case study on sovereign bond climate analysis: UK vs. US using the ASCOR framework. ✅Exploring metrics and engagement strategies, including the examination of carbon intensity against the investable universe and evaluating the pros and cons of exclusionary approaches, like Paris-aligned benchmarks. The session underscored the critical role of fundamental analysis in understanding and managing climate risks in bond investments. It's evident that the path to sustainable investing is not just about exclusion but about informed and strategic inclusion. As an industry, we're at a crossroads where understanding and integrating climate risks into investment strategies is no longer optional but essential. This session was a compelling reminder that our investment decisions can and should reflect our commitment to a sustainable future. #ClimateRisk #BondMarkets #SustainableInvesting
