Framing Climate Change Risk in Portfolio Management

This report from the World Resources Institute introduces a multidimensional framework designed to help investors identify and evaluate the impact of climate change risk on their portfolios, specifically focusing on the competitive dynamics created by greenhouse gas regulation policies.

• The report provides a multidimensional framework for investors to assess climate risk, identifying the competitive dynamics that arise from climate policies as the primary investment concern.
• Climate policies affect industries and companies differently based on policy design and the resulting competitive responses, which together determine the financial impact on a company.
• Investors can apply existing financial techniques to discount the potential effects of climate policies on investment value, even in the face of uncertainties, particularly within the United States.
