Corporate Climate Risk Disclosure: An Executive Guide to Monitoring and Disclosing Climate Risk
Corporate Climate Risk Disclosure was published as an E-book by Environmental Finance in 2012, and was edited by Felicia Jackson.
The multi-author report sets out views from experts in a range of different disciplines on why climate risk reporting is so important. It explores the shift in thinking about what risks are apparent to industry, how to measure and report such risks, what frameworks are in place (both voluntary and mandatory) and identifies the main stakeholders in the discourse.
Investors and companies worldwide are beginning to understand that climate risk can have an impact on their bottom line, and that managing climate risk is set to become a key management benchmarking indicator. More and more companies, therefore, are disclosing information about the impact of climate change on their operations and how they are responding. Their motivations include legislation, shareholder pressure, saving money and boosting profits, as well as reputation management. However, the risks differ significantly between industries and geographical areas and it can be difficult to compare responses from different companies. There is a clear need for clarity, reporting standards and better communication.
Corporate Climate Risk Disclosure explains how climate risk is changing, what is reported and why, the legal and accounting issues, and outlines how to create a financial framework for reporting climate risk. Contributing organisations include Willis, LRQA, Allen & Overy, DNV, Hunton & Williams, Carbon Disclosure Project, Aarhus University, Climate Disclosure Standards Board, ACCA, University of St Andrews, and the Aldersgate Group.
