Climate change is a global phenomenon which businesses cannot ignore. Climate change brings about new risks, ranging from physical threats to assets and a compromised supply chain, to policy, legal, reputational risks. New opportunities also arise, from potential cost savings from resource efficiency and new markets for low-carbon products and services. These climate-related risks and opportunities all have financial implications.
