The physical impact of climate change already affects the productivity of corporates on a global scale and across sectors – but financial markets do not currently price in the full range or magnitude of these risks. The pace at which corporates embrace and implement transition strategies will determine how fast and prevalent physical risks will rise.
The study by experts from Imperial and Reading, led by Dr Ajay Gambhir, brings to life the extent of physical risk to corporates and the potential scenarios that might follow. This research integrates financial markets with the science of climate change.
