Assess the likelihood, timing and scope of climate risks

In Climate Risks: An Investor’s Field Guide to Identification and Assessment, financial analyst Bob Buhr delivers a risk-based framework for classifying and measuring potential climate risks at the firm level, and their potential financial impacts. The author presents a “climate risk taxonomy” that encompasses a broad range of physical, transition and natural capital risks that may impact a firm’s financial profile.

The taxonomy presented in the book will be of interest to investors and lenders involved in:

The identification and assessment of the potential scope and impact of a wide range of risks that might normally remain outside of more traditional risk or credit analysis, usually for horizon issues; The determination of the points at which climate risks may crystallize into real and significant financial exposure The assessment of the relative aggregate riskiness of portfolios exposed to climate and natural capital risks at the firm level

A rigorous and practical toolkit for the assessment and measurement of a broad range of potential climate risks, this book offers fund managers, portfolio analysts, risk experts, and other finance professionals a clear blueprint for assessing potential financial impacts at firms arising from climate change.
