Document summary
Climate risk management is increasingly interesting investors and to make informed decisions, the investment community is starting to seek greater transparency about climate-related risks and opportunities faced by the companies in which they invest. The number of climate-related shareholder resolutions has increased recently, particularly with power, oil & gas and mining companies. Although the majority relate to GHG emissions there is growing evidence that investors are seeking disclosure on the material impacts of a changing climate. Despite ongoing improvements though, investors have criticised the quality and depth of information on climate change impacts and adaptation disclosed by public companies.
