Carbon Risk

As the impact of climate change becomes more acute the call to do something about it are likely to grow ever louder. One of the most effective ways that governments and businesses can incentivise decarbonisation is by putting a price on carbon. It is the currency of decarbonisation. Governments are gradually following Europe’s and launching their own carbon trading schemes. Meanwhile, businesses looking to meet their net-zero commitments are turning to the non-compliance market to remove carbon from the atmosphere. As investors become educated in the opportunities available attention will inevitably turn to how we use that edge as other carbon markets develop. Carbon represents an asset market in its own right, and as it’s price increases it will begin to affect a broader part of the economy. This includes commodities, industries and economies - some negatively, but some will benefit too. Carbon Risk is all about delivering investors actionable insights at the intersection of carbon markets, industry and macroeconomics.
