Here are some of the takeaways from the week that stood out for us.<\/p>\n<h2>The Rising Cost of Physical Risk<\/h2>\n<p>Discussions throughout the week focused on the physical risk of climate change and its impact on investments. Investors emphasized the rising importance of climate resilience and asset-level intelligence.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Resilience investments will increasingly matter in the U.S., policy shifts notwithstanding, predicted one asset manager at a roundtable on climate finance hosted by the MSCI Sustainability Institute under Chatham House rule. <em>\u201cThe power lines cannot catch fire, and hence these investments will ultimately incorporate adaptation and resilience,\u201d <\/em>he said.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44017\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44017\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44017\" src=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MSCI-hosted-roundtable-on-climate-capital-in-an-age-of-fragmentation.jpg\" alt=\"MSCI hosted roundtable on climate capital in an age of fragmentation\" width=\"750\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MSCI-hosted-roundtable-on-climate-capital-in-an-age-of-fragmentation.jpg 750w, https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MSCI-hosted-roundtable-on-climate-capital-in-an-age-of-fragmentation-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44017\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Leaders from finance and policy discuss climate capital in an age of fragmentation at a roundtable hosted by the MSCI Sustainability Institute.<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cIt\u2019s not lost on us that when we\u2019re investing in wind and solar we need to take into account the impact of climate change on those energy infrastructure projects,\u201d<\/em> commented Tom Woolerton, senior investment manager at Octopus Energy Generation, at a de-risking summit hosted by the insurance broker Howden, where participants stressed a need for quantifying climate-related physical risk in insurance appraisals.<\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cWe believe that geospatial asset intelligence is the next risk frontier,\u201d<\/em> my colleague Richard Mattison, MSCI\u2019s head of sustainability and climate, said at a reception hosted by our firm.

Fragmentation and political headwinds were key topics in a panel moderated by Peter Tufano, Baker Foundation Professor at Harvard Business School, during a UN Goals House event hosted by the Harvard Salata Institute. Panelists Nili Gilbert, vice-chair of Carbon Direct; former U.K. energy minister Chris Skidmore; and David Blood of Generation Investment Management broadly agreed that, beyond the headlines, climate action continues on the ground but is not well communicated. The economic case for decarbonization needs better storytelling and fewer frameworks and acronyms, they suggested.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A Focus on Adaptation and Resilience<\/h2>\n<p>Conversations centered on opportunities for investment created by the need for adaptation and resilience to climate change, as well as the critical role of insurance in incentivizing such investments.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cYou have more certainty and conviction about the direction and risk of the impact of climate change over the next 15 years than you do the direction or range of interest rates, inflation, tariffs or geopolitics,\u201d<\/em> noted Jay Koh, co-founder and managing director of The Lightsmith Group and co-founder of the Global Adaptation and Resilience Investor (GARI) working group, at a roundtable on de-risking investment in climate adaptation and resilience hosted by GARI, Zurich Insurance and the advisory firm Pollination.<\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cA majority of pension funds are at the beginning of the journey when it comes to adaptation and resilience,\u201d<\/em> reported Valentina Ramirez, head of climate strategy for the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC), noting that IIGCC just launched a climate-resilience investment framework and a consultation on its physical climate risk appraisal methodology.<\/li>\n<li>Anjali Viswamohanan, director of policy for the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC), cited Asia\u2019s vulnerability to heat stress and AIGCC\u2019s work with the MSCI Sustainability Institute to identify companies domiciled in the region whose products or solutions may help society prevent or withstand the impacts of extreme heat. <em>\u201cIf you invest in resilience, it actually creates resilience,\u201d<\/em> she stressed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1622053479374-0\" class=\"ad-float-left\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1622053479374-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cThe reality is that it\u2019s quite difficult to see immediate impact from resilience measures, so we\u2019re trying to think in terms of timing,\u201d<\/em> noted Penny Seach, chief underwriting officer at Zurich Insurance Group. <em>\u201cInsurers think in 12-month chunks, whereas investors think in terms of the life of an investment,\u201d<\/em> she added. <em>\u201cWe need to change the mindset from repair and replace, which is easy for the insurance industry, to a model of predict and protect.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Importance of Market Mechanisms<\/h2>\n<p>Both carbon trading and blended finance (combining government or philanthropic capital with private capital in one financing structure) as a means to attract private sector investment in the energy transition in emerging markets featured prominently in London.<\/p>\n<p>The governments of Kenya, Singapore and the U.K. announced the formation of The Coalition to Grow Carbon Markets, which aims to strengthen the integrity of credits and promote their use by companies in meeting emissions targets to increase the flow of private-sector finance for climate, nature and a just transition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ravi Menon,?co-chair of the new coalition, Singapore\u2019s ambassador for climate action and former director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, stressed the value of carbon trading in climate finance in his opening remarks on the record at our Institute roundtable, calling it <em>\u201ckey for decarbonization in the Global South.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cCarbon removals are generating interest from buyers,\u201d<\/em> commented a participant at our Institute\u2019s roundtable, citing continuing purchases of removals by U.S. tech giants and the trend by governments to link voluntary and compliance markets by permitting,?as Singapore does, the use of high-quality carbon credits to offset a portion of their taxable emissions.<\/li>\n<li>Blended finance plays a role in financing adaptation and resilience, emphasized Andrew Lucas, head of energy, climate and environment at the U.K. government\u2019s Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office at the GARI roundtable. Developing local financial centers can help to attract private-sector investment for adaptation and resilience in emerging markets by reassuring investors. <em>\u201cLocal capital is stickier and leads to international funding,\u201d <\/em>he said.<\/li>\n<li>Outcomes of the COP30 climate summit should include an adaptation roadmap that makes private-sector investors <em>\u201cfeel safer, whether via a high-quality carbon offset, or helping the private sector invest more in emerging markets because they can actually quantify the real risk,\u201d<\/em> suggested Rachel Kyte, the U.K. government\u2019s special representative for climate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n<p>Many of the issues discussed in London, including private-sector investment in the energy transition and the role of carbon trading in spurring private-sector climate finance, as well as the importance of nature-related risks are likely to be high on the agenda at the U.N. COP30 climate summit later this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMainstreaming climate in investments and insurance,\u201d \u201charmonization of carbon markets and carbon accounting standards\u201d and protecting nature with \u201csolutions for climate, biodiversity and desertification\u201d are among 30 objectives for the summit published by the COP30 presidency on the eve of London Climate Action Week (\u201cFourth Letter from the Presidency,\u201d COP30 Brazil Amazonia, June 20, 2025.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Article by Linda-Eling Lee<\/em><\/strong><em>, Founding Director and Head of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msci-institute.com\/\">MSCI Sustainability Institute<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msci.com\/\">MSCI<\/a>, which states the content of this page is for informational purposes only and is intended for institutional professionals with the analytical resources and tools necessary to interpret any performance information.
