Overall, researchers found that share prices were little affected by climate disasters
One reason may be a lack of data. More companies are disclosing their climate risks, but they are still in the minority. Without this information, it is hard for investors to gauge the threat that companies may face. Another reason is a mismatch of time horizons. Equity investors buy a stake in companies’ physical assets, which seldom last longer than 20 years. The most devastating effects of climate change will not materialise for another 30 years or so.
A third and more worrying explanation is that investors are simply ignoring climate change. Here the report offers a glimmer of hope. The evidence suggests that investors in long-term sovereign bonds demand a premium from countries with high climate risk. That 30-year horizon is shrinking. It may be only a matter of time before equity investors do the same.
