INVESTORS worldwide recognize the impact of climate change on the markets and the economy. They understand that extreme environmental changes can trigger severe market disruptions. However, despite this awareness, their projection of the future valuation of their assets — such as bonds, currencies, real estate and stocks — can still use significant improvement in reflecting climate risks.
These were among the findings of the latest Climate Risk Survey published by the MSCI Sustainability Institute, a leading provider of critical decision support tools and services for the global investment community. The study asked more than 350 senior investors and risk managers across banks, insurers and investment institutions for their views about the effects of climate change on investments. More than one-fourth of the respondents are based in Asia-Pacific (APAC).
