Analyzing Environmental Trends

The document outlines the difficulties financial institutions face when assessing the materiality of environmental trends in South and Southeast Asia, specifically regarding data availability, contextual analysis, and predictability.

• The analysis of financial impacts from environmental trends in South and Southeast Asia is hindered by three primary challenges: a deficiency in public data regarding environmental trends and corporate exposure, a lack of contextual analysis to link trends to financial outcomes, and the inherent unpredictability of environmental trends which complicates forecasting of magnitude and likelihood.
• A research collaboration between the World Resources Institute and HSBC conducted peer-reviewed research on how climate change and water scarcity affect the real estate, food and beverage, and power sectors in South and Southeast Asia.
