Key Insights
Climate change has seen a dramatic increase in attention in recent years, and this has been reflected in its prominence as an investment issue.
Despite this focus, however, only those sectors facing high transition risk, like fossil fuel producers, have seen valuations materially impacted.
In our view, rising climate change risk is not being reflected in broader valuations due to the limited impact of climate factors on near-term cash flows.
