This chapter looks at how more transparent disclosure of climate risks can make markets work for resilience. In a world in which climate risk is reflected in the prices of assets traded in the market, everyone will be pressured to manage the risk and protect the value of their holdings. This chapter looks at four markets where we might expect climate risk disclosure to cause prices to change most readily: equities (company stocks), debt (bonds issued by companies and governments), property (real estate), and insurance. It argues that disclosure and better risk information can propel climate resilience at a systemic level, but it can also prove highly disruptive. Fear of disruption and its consequences has led different groups to throw sand into the gears to delay a day of reckoning, but that day is coming. If communities are unprepared, investors, banks, and insurance companies could panic and pull back indiscriminately from parts of the stock, bond, property, and insurance markets. The insights learned from these markets can illustrate how each could drive resilience on a large scale.

Abstract According to our survey about climate risk perceptions, institutional investors believe climate risks have financial implications for their portfolio firms and that these risks, particularly regulatory risks, already have begun to materialize. Many of the investors, especially the long-term, larger, and ESG-oriented ones, consider risk management and engagement, rather than divestment, to be the better approach for addressing climate risks. Although surveyed investors believe that some equity valuations do not fully reflect climate risks, their perceived overvaluations are not large.

ABSTRACT This paper explores the necessary and sufficient conditions of good Corporate Governance practices for high risk disclosure by firms in their Corporate Governance Annual Report. Additionally, we explore whether those recipes have changed during the financial crisis. With a sample of 271 Spanish listed companies, we applied fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to a database of financial and non-financial data. We report that Board of Directors independence, size, level of activity and gender diversity, CEO duality, Audit Committee independence, being audited by the Big Four auditing firms and the presence of institutional investors are associated with high risk disclosure. The conditions included in almost every combination are the presence of institutional investors and being audited by the Big Four. We found similar combinations for 2006 and 2012, while the analysis for 2009 showed the lowest number of causal configurations.
