Do you have your "Climate Comps"?

Knowing the climate impact of infrastructure investments is challenging and costly but TCFD allows investors to use proxies and encourages benchmarking. infraMetrics® uses a combination of reported data, physical models and statistical techniques to produce robust, PCAF-aligned climate proxies and benchmarks for TCFD reporting at a low cost for scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions and carbon intensities.

Event Details

Investors in infrastructure could lose more than half of their portfolio by 2050.

How much of your investments stand to lose in the near future from physical events such as floods and storms? Are you concerned about the impact of climate change on your portfolio?

The physical risks created by climate change are not limited to a distant future for investors in infrastructure, some of whom could well lose more than 50% of the value of their portfolio to physical climate risk before 2050 in the event of runaway climate change. Moreover, the average investor will also lose twice as much to extreme weather, mostly in OECD countries, compared to a low carbon scenario.

In this webinar we will discuss the impact of extreme climate events on infrastructure valuations and examine the extent of extreme climate driven physical risk in infrastructure investments and the potential concentration of such risks in the portfolio of investors in infrastructure. We show the importance of implementing more ambitious policies to cope with climate change, because, while energy transition and the alignment of economies have a cost for private investors, so does climate change! We highlight that in the absence of an energy transition towards a low carbon economy, physical risks are twice as large and that in extreme cases, portfolios with fewer assets may experience large losses up to more than half of their portfolio value.

Join us for an eye-opening webinar as we explore the urgent issue of physical climate risks faced by investors in infrastructure.

TCFD-Aligned Climate Metrics for Infrastructure Investors

Climate reporting aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) guidelines is rapidly transitioning into a requirement for investors worldwide. This poses difficulties for portfolios that include infrastructure investment and other privately owned assets, primarily due to the scarcity of accurate and comparable data. As investors wrestle with these urgent disclosure requirements, they are also under growing pressure to deepen their understanding of the impacts of physical risks of climate change on their infrastructure and private asset portfolios, as both regulatory and market forces demand more accurate risk assessments. In this webinar, Nishtha Manocha, Senior Research Engineer, PhD, and Abhishek Gupta, Associate Director & Head of infraMetrics Product Development at EDHEC Infra & Private Assets will examine both the challenges and potential solutions to assist investors in fulfilling their regulatory obligations while gaining a more comprehensive understanding of climate risks within their portfolios.

Key Talking Points

Regulatory drivers: TCFD-aligned reporting is mandatory in an increasing range of key jurisdictions and will be further reinforced by adoption of ISSB’s climate reporting standards by the word’s securities regulators. How is the regulatory picture evolving and what are the key requirements and differences across markets for investors?
Challenges in tackling GHG emissions: What are the practical TCFD-related challenges for infrastructure and private equity investors vs listed equities, given fragmented information follows typically available to limited partners? What are the current options and methodologies for assessing the current and future GHG emissions across all scopes for different types of unlisted assets, and what are the drawbacks and barriers that investors are facing?
Physical risks in focus: While TCFD recommendations require disclosure relating to physical risk, further granularity is required – and not just for regulatory reasons. The very nature of extreme weather events that can impact physical assets across geographies defies traditional risk management approaches. How do these challenges manifest for infrastructure and private assets?
The way forward: While climate reporting undoubtedly requires heavy lifting for LPs, effective solutions are already emerging for even the most challenging asset classes. TCFD allows for modelled approaches, enabling benchmarks to play a key role in understanding and comparing the climate risks of even the most diverse portfolios. EDHEC’s experts present solutions to help investors address not only present climate reporting requirements, but also physical risk assessments and scenario analysis looking forward to 2030 and 2050.

Join us on 1^st November, 9:00am (GMT), for this webinar to gain valuable insights and strategies for effectively navigating climate reporting challenges.
