Understanding ESG, Climate & Nature Risks for Real Assets

Environmental Risks

• Climate change impacts such as extreme weather, flooding, heatwaves, and sea-level rise affecting asset performance.

• Natural resource depletion, deforestation, and biodiversity loss impacting long-term sustainability.

• Pollution, emissions, and environmental compliance risks across operations and assets.

Social & Governance Risks

• Labour rights, health, and safety concerns in asset management and operations.

• Community engagement, stakeholder relations, and social license to operate.

• Governance, regulatory compliance, and ethical management risks affecting asset valuation.

Physical & Transition Risks

• Physical risks from climate-related events and natural hazards affecting infrastructure and operations.

• Transition risks arising from policy shifts, carbon pricing, and market changes as economies move toward sustainability.

These risks can materially affect asset valuation, operational resilience, and reputational standing, requiring proactive management and mitigation strategies.

Why These Risks Matter

For investors and asset managers, failure to address ESG, climate, and nature risks can lead to:

• Asset devaluation and financial losses

• Regulatory non-compliance and legal exposure

• Reputational damage and reduced investor confidence

• Increased operational costs due to climate or environmental impacts

For organisations and governments, managing these risks supports:

• Sustainable infrastructure and resource planning

• Compliance with international ESG, climate, and biodiversity regulations

• Protection of communities, ecosystems, and public trust

• Alignment with net-zero, sustainability, and nature-positive goals
