Summary
Exposure to energy, commodity and climate-related risk has arguably never been higher. The world is perilously close to reaching the point of no return regarding 1.5°C warming, just as extreme weather events present a stark reminder of the colossal loss and damage associated with unchecked climate change. At the same time, the transition to a sustainable net-zero future presents investment opportunities at unprecedented speed and scale across clean energy technologies, power and transmission globally.
Recognizing the unique challenges corporates, financials, governments face in fully understanding and responding to these developments, S&P Global is bringing together the market-leading analysis and expertise of our Energy Transition and Sustainability Services (ETSS) division for a webinar to:
- Examine the investment opportunities presented by the ongoing transition to a lower-carbon economy
- Learn how companies can adapt to a rapidly-evolving marketplace and volatile policy environment
- Understand exposure to different elements of physical climate risk – and strategies to manage that risk
- Recognize signposts across geopolitics, climate policy, commodity markets, as well as other sectors, that offer a forward read on emerging risks in the energy and climate space.
