Rapid emissions reduction crucial for avoiding financial losses in the stock market
In a pioneering development, the EDHEC-Risk Climate Impact Institute has presented new research that illuminates the previously underappreciated influence of climate risk on equity valuations. Led by the institute's scientific director, Riccardo Rebonato, the research introduces a novel approach for assessing the impact of climate risk on stock prices. This climate risk adjustment model integrates both physical and transition risk elements into asset pricing models. The team behind this innovative method includes researchers such as Lucila Fuger, Caroline Julliard, and Marie Sapin. Their work aims to provide a more holistic understanding of how climate risks could influence the value of equities. The research exposes gaps in the valuation techniques commonly employed by investors, suggesting that the new methodology could facilitate more accurate and informed decision-making in the investment realm. By considering both the physical and transition risks associated with climate change, investors may be better equipped to navigate the complexities of a changing climate and its potential impact on their portfolios. As the world continues to confront the challenges posed by climate change, this research offers a valuable tool for investors seeking to make more informed decisions about their investments. The findings of the EDHEC-Risk Climate Impact Institute could help pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient financial sector.
