Mercer Climate Change Report

The consulting and investment services company, Mercer, has published a new report assessing the costs of climate change.

The yearlong study, in partnership with the World Bank and International Finance Corporation, surveyed 14 institutional investors including APG and PGGM; investors in Climate Change Capital Carbon Fund II.

Key points:

  • Investment opportunities in low carbon technology could be as high as $5 trillion by 2030
  • Climate change could contribute as much as 10% to portfolio risk over the next 20 years
  • Investors could benefit from increased allocation to infrastructure, real estate, private equity, agriculture land, timberland and sustainable assets
  • Institutional investors have numerous options for capitalising on opportunities and managing risks arising from climate change
