The definitive guide to how institutional investors should approach the risks and opportunities associated with climate changeEnvironmental Alpha provides institutional investors with the comprehensive framework they need to assess the risks and investment opportunities tied to climate change.Climate change will present institutional investors with some of the most important risks and opportunities they will face for generations to come. Climate change has the potential to affect many sectors in radically different degrees over time, and institutional investors need to have a thorough understanding of the multi-dimensional risks and opportunities that could influence nearly every investment in their portfolios. This volume is composed of contributions by leading experts in environmental investment, moving beyond the theoretical or academic nature of much of the current discussion on the topic to provide you with real-world insights into an emerging market.

This book will put you in a better position to assess and access these opportunities.
