Scientific Climate Ratings is pleased to announce its partnership with Connor, Clark & Lunn Infrastructure (CC&L Infrastructure). Scientific Climate Ratings will support the development and implementation of a comprehensive climate risk framework to help CC&L Infrastructure identify, assess, and manage climate-related risks across its infrastructure portfolio.
Through this collaboration, Scientific Climate Ratings will carry out a detailed assessment of both physical and transition climate risks, analysing CC&L Infrastructure’s individual assets as well as its portfolio. The analysis will evaluate potential risks and financial impacts under a range of climate scenarios and time horizons defined by CC&L Infrastructure.
Furthermore, to analyse and compare the climate risk profiles of prospective assets, access to the climateMetrics analytics platform will be provided, complementing the Climate Risk Ratings delivered by Scientific Climate Ratings on existing assets.
As a long-term steward of client capital, CC&L Infrastructure is committed to responsible investment and proactive climate risk management. This collaboration with Scientific Climate Ratings reflects the firm’s ongoing dedication to enhancing its management of climate-related risks in support of resilient, long-term value creation.
