CONFÉRENCE I translating physical climate hazards into financial impacts

Conferences - By : Romain HUBERT

 

 

Financial actors are already exposed to the impacts of climate change on the real economy as illustrated by PG&E’s bankruptcy in early 2019. While financial institutions need to prepare for physical climate risks now, they face a lack of science-based information relevant for their decisions.
 

What are the needs of financial institutions to integrate physical climate risks in their decisions? What solutions are already emerging to fill these needs?

 

To answer these questions, the European ClimINVEST consortium shared the results of a 2-year collaboration between financial institutions and climate change specialists. The research institutions and partners in the financial sector explained how they clarified their needs and present their solutions to help integrate physical climate risk in investors’ decisions.

 

This event was an opportunity for financial practitioners to learn science-based and pragmatic recommendations about what physical climate risk assessment should look like, what kind of scientific information can be used and why, but also pave the way forward.

    France: Two urgent priorities for the 2025 Budget

    2025 begins with a new French government and a new budget debate, but with the same challenge as last year: how to reduce the deficit without putting the brakes on investment in the climate transition? Climate investments are the best investments we can make, according to the new Minister of Economy Éric Lombard. He’s right: any delay weakens our energy security and our position in the international race for cleantech, not to mention the pace of decarbonisation of our economy.
