Markets do not process information that they do not have, and climate models and scenarios are not yet telling us what we need to know to understand the impact of climate risk on asset prices.

Key Points: 
  • Markets do not process information that they do not have, and climate models and scenarios are not yet telling us what we need to know to understand the impact of climate risk on asset prices.
  • This is why investors are increasingly demanding access to non-financial data about climate risks.
  • Mr Kirk considered that climate risks will be realised in the long term and probably with a fairly limited average aggregate loss given the offsetting of climate gains and losses.
  • This liability-hedging objective results notably in investments in real assets that are not easy to diversify and are therefore very strongly exposed to climate risk.
