"Climate Risks: An Investor's Field Guide to Identification and Assessment presents a framework for classifying climate risks at the firm level, a "climate risk taxonomy" that captures a broad range of physical and transition risks that may affect a firm's financial profile. This enables banks, investors, and regulators to: assess the relative aggregate riskiness of portfolios that derive from climate and natural capital risks at the firm level; assess the potential scope and impact of a wide range of risks that would not normally appear in more traditional risk or credit analysis; and to formulate a judgment on where and when climate risks may become financial risks"-- Provided by publisher.
