Climate Risk and Opportunities

Climate risk impacts the financial system in two key fronts:
• Physical Risks, which cause direct harm to assets or disrupt Industry / company value chains
• Transition Risks, which arise from the overall shift to a low carbon economy through changes in policy, technology and market sentiment
