Climate risk can affect equities, bonds, property, pensions, insurance and lending. This hub brings together The Planet Brief's guides on physical risk, transition risk, fossil-free funds, green pensions and property exposure.
Financial information only
This hub is for education only. It is not investment advice, a recommendation, or a personal financial promotion. Climate data is uncertain and investments can fall in value.
Climate risk reading path
| Guide | Best for | What it explains |
|---|---|---|
| Climate risk and investment portfolios | Portfolio reviewers | Physical risk, transition risk, liability risk, metrics and asset-class exposure. |
| Fossil-free funds UK | Investors checking exclusions | Why fossil-free investing and climate-risk management overlap but are not identical. |
| Green pension funds UK | Pension savers | How to ask providers about financed emissions, holdings, stewardship and targets. |
| Climate risk, property and insurance | Property owners and investors | How flood, heat, insurance and retrofit risk can affect property value. |
Core checks
- Separate physical risk from transition risk.
- Review top holdings and sector exposure.
- Check whether fund managers publish climate metrics and stewardship evidence.
- Look at property and infrastructure exposure, not only listed equities.
- Use climate scores carefully because data quality and assumptions vary.
Bottom line
Climate risk belongs in portfolio analysis, not just sustainability branding. Review holdings, sectors, geography, stewardship, physical risk and fees together.
