| The EDHEC Climate Institute (ECI) supports finance professionals and decision-makers in navigating the challenges of climate change through cutting-edge research and practical tools. Our work focuses on six key areas: Physical Risks, Transition Risks, Resilience & Transition Technologies, Climate Scenarios, Green Assets, and Climate Regulation & Policies. |

FEATURE
The Tragedy of the Tragedy of the Horizon
Ten years after Mark Carney’s landmark speech reframed climate change as a systemic financial risk, the disclosure-led strategy he championed transformed market information but failed to drive real-economy change. As entrenched interests push green agendas to the sidelines and sustainability reporting itself comes under attack, completing the virtuous circle Carney envisaged will require policymakers not only to preserve disclosures but also to design and deliver substantive reforms that accelerate the transition to low-carbon, resilient economies.

Webinar – What Really Works for Infrastructure Resilience and Decarbonisation? Inside ClimaTech’s Global Framework of Climate Solutions
As part of Paris InfraWeek, ECI is delighted to participate as a Knowledge Partner and to host this webinar exploring how credible, science-based strategies can drive infrastructure resilience and decarbonisation. Up to 54% of global infrastructure value is at risk from climate-induced weather events without adaptation, yet fewer than one-third of major infrastructure companies disclose credible transition or resilience strategies. The ClimaTech project bridges this gap. Backed by two years of research and 8 peer-reviewed papers, it provides the world’s first and largest evidence-based framework to reduce both transition and physical climate risks to infrastructure assets.

Turning the Tide: Measuring Climate Risk to Transform Coastal Infrastructure Resilience
Nearly 40% of the global population lives within 100 km of the coast. Ports, cities and industrial areas depend on coastal infrastructure, yet these assets are on the frontline of climate change impacts such as flooding, storms and sea level rise. In this article, we explore how a clearer understanding and measurement of climate risks can help both public and private stakeholders strengthen the resilience of critical assets. Accurately measuring the risks involved is the first essential step to making them visible – and impossible to ignore.

Why banks’ credit risk models are blind to climate shocks
Banks are still flying blind on climate risk, and regulators are partly to blame. Only a small share of banks integrate climate risk into their internal ratings-based models, which remain grounded in backward-looking data and short-term horizons. These models fail to capture sudden climate shocks or long-term transition impacts. Supervisors must adapt prudential rules to enable the integration of forward-looking, science-based metrics so that credit risk frameworks can reflect resilience to future climate realities rather than past performance.

Save the Date – EDHEC Climate Research Conference 2026 – Climate Risk and Business Resilience: From Science to Strategic Action
On 23 June 2026, the EDHEC Climate Institute will host its inaugural Climate Research Conference in London. The event will bring together academics, regulators, investors, and industry leaders to explore how science-based tools can transform the assessment and management of climate risks. Sessions will address advances in probabilistic scenario analysis, high-resolution data modelling, and the evaluation of climate resilience strategies across sectors.

About EDHEC Climate Institute:
Reflecting EDHEC Business School's strategic commitment to sustainability and climate finance, the EDHEC-Risk Climate Impact Institute has evolved into the EDHEC Climate Institute (ECI), consolidating the School's expertise in climate-related financial research and decision-making. ECI's mission is to help private and public decision-makers manage climate-related financial risks and make the most of financial tools to support the transition to a low-emission economy that is more resilient to climate change. It has a long track record as an independent and critical reference centre in helping long-term investors to understand and manage the financial implications of climate change on asset prices and the management of investments and climate action policies. The institute has also developed an expertise in physical risks, developing proprietary research frameworks and innovative approaches. ECI is also conducting advanced research on climate transition risks, with a focus on supply chain emissions (Scope 3), consumer choices, and emerging technologies. As part of its mission, ECI collaborates with academic partners, businesses, and financial players to establish targeted research partnerships. This includes making research outputs, publications, and data available in open source to maximise impact and accessibility.
