Environmental Finance: Climate risk ratings help identify where value is created or destroyed

December 8, 2025

Scientific Climate Ratings helps investors identify where value is created or destroyed by climate risk.

Our recent webinar with Environmental Finance brought together more than 800 participants, including investors, asset managers, risk specialists and financial professionals from around the world. The discussion underscored a clear shift in market thinking: climate risk ratings are no longer optional. They are essential tools for understanding how climate-related risks and opportunities translate into real financial outcomes.

As highlighted during the session, climate impacts extend well beyond compliance or sustainability narratives. They directly affect asset performance, portfolio risk and long-term value creation. As Nishtha Manocha, PhD, COO of Scientific Climate Ratings, noted, climate risk now plays a decisive role in financial losses, performance and resilience.

“Climate risk is no longer a peripheral consideration – it directly influences financial losses, performance and long-term resilience.”,  Nishtha Manocha, PhD, COO. 

The key insights from the webinar are now featured in Environmental Finance.
