The Big Picture on the Energy Transition and Climate Risk: Brazil

As we progress into 2025, exposure to energy and climate-related risk has arguably never been higher. S&P Global Energy predicts $60T in energy investment opportunities by 2050 across clean energy technologies, power, and transmission globally under a net zero scenario. Over this same period, S&P Global Sustainable1 identifies  almost $25 trillion in cumulative financial impacts for the world’s largest companies due to changing climate hazard exposures under this net-zero scenario.

Recognizing the unique challenge businesses, investors and banks face in fully understanding and responding to these risks, S&P Global is bringing together the market-leading analysis and expertise of our Energy Transition and Sustainability Services (ETSS) division in a series of global insight forums in 2025. 

During this forum, participants will:

• Hear from scenario experts on the likely trajectories for future energy markets and their impact on GHG emissions pathways and global temperature outcomes  

• Examine the investment opportunity presented by the transition to a low-carbon economy 

• Learn how companies need to adapt to a rapidly-evolving marketplace and volatile policy environment 

• Understand exposure to physical climate risk – and strategies to manage that risk  

• Reimage the energy transition on the road to COP30 in Brazil
