Managing business risk and opportunity from climate change
Intensifying climate conditions and the world’s response to mitigate global warming will place unprecedented burdens on businesses, triggering the devaluation of corporate earnings and assets if they fail to adapt. To succeed in an uncertain future, businesses need to understand how climate change – and society’s response – will impact them.
Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies provides a framework for quantifying potential consequences, identifying opportunities and managing the route to net zero.
