Exposure to Climate Risk: Property, Power Assets, Directors and Trustees

In this webinar we address the implications of climate change for long-term institutional investors. MSCI ESG Research explores the risks posed by rising sea levels and extreme weather events on fixed assets such as properties and power plants. In Japan and Hong Kong, of the properties that have a combined exposure to sea level rise and increasing storm intensity, approximately 43% are residential properties and 36% are retail properties, while 30% of properties research in Australia are exposed.
