Navigating the climate transition with climate scenario stress testing
Investors face a difficult challenge in building portfolios that can successfully manage climate change risks, opportunities and impacts. It requires forward-looking data and an ability to interpret it, so that clients can mitigate the risks – and monetize the returns – that the low-carbon transition will bring.
To tackle these challenges, Robeco applies qualitative assessment on top of quantitative techniques to minimize the gap between model results and real-world outcomes. In the second part of our research entitled ‘Navigating the climate transition’, we outline our approach to these challenges through the stress testing of various climate scenarios.
This builds on the first part, entitled ‘Navigating the climate transition with forward-looking analytics’, in which we explained how different metrics can be used to make a comprehensive assessment of climate transition risks, opportunities and impacts.
