Understanding Climate Implications for Assets in Long-Term Portfolios

Long-term portfolios, particularly in infrastructure and real estate, face growing vulnerability as climate risks increasingly reshape asset valuations. This session will bring together leading asset owners, asset managers, and transition experts to explore how physical and transition risks are influencing investment decisions for assets with life cycles extending 70+ years. Panelists will share current approaches, tools, and methodologies while highlighting persistent gaps in forward-looking, granular data.

Experts will present innovative models that incorporate climate scenarios, carbon pricing, physical risk, and insurance costs. These models aim to bridge the data gap by connecting micro-level insights with portfolio-level asset allocation strategies. Together, these perspectives will offer practical guidance for building more resilient, future-ready portfolios in the face of accelerating climate change. By integrating these approaches, investors can better align capital allocation with long-term climate resilience, ensuring that infrastructure, real estate, and other long-lived assets remain viable and value-generating over decades to come.
