Fueled by regulation, investor/client demand, the desire to prepare for direct threats from climate change, or some combination of these factors, firms across the securities and investment industry face the onerous task of assessing the risks and opportunities associated with climate change not only to their investments but also from a business operations standpoint. As a result, institutions regardless of factors such as size, geographic location, or investment exposure are feeling the impact of climate change.

This report examines how climate risk impacts firms across the securities and investments landscape, what’s driving the demand for climate-related data and analytics, and how those firms can go about assessing and managing the risks and potential opportunities posed by climate change. This report is based on qualitative interviews with investment firms actively assessing climate risk from an investment and operational standpoint as well as with leading providers of climate data and analytics for investment firms, and a combination of proprietary research and industry knowledge.
