BUSINESS
IMPLICATIONS
Increased transition risk:
Business impacted by climate policies, carbon prices, market
pressures and technological advancements
Increased physical risk:
Business impacted by direct damages and indirect discruption
assocated with severe changes in climate driven weather events
· Highly regulated policy environment · Moderate policy regulation · Few changes to current policy settings
· Ambitious; net zero commitments achieved at most all
levels
· Government commitments and National Determined
Contributions are achieved
· Not all stated commitments are achieved
· Improved air pollution in advanced and emerging market
& developing economies
· Rising air pollution levels especially in emerging market
and developing economies
· Doubling of the frequency of extreme heat events by 2050
and 120% increase in intensity & rising air pollution levels
especially in emerging market and developing economies
· Expectation of signifcant capital allocation for innovative
product design, energy efficiency investments, and clean
electrification of operations
· Additional levels of R&D investment will be required to
contribute to and attain announced commitments
