Abstract:
The risk climate change poses to the economy is evident, however not all firms will be impacted homogeneously. This thesis aims to identify whether climate indicators, particularly those related to emissions and energy use, are reflected in the financial performance of the entities. Several portfolios of global stocks are constructed based on their climate credentials. The financial performance and characteristics of these portfolios are then compared with the aim to identify a relationship, if any, between key financial and key climate indicators.
