Pricing the Impact of Climate Change on Urban Property Values

Climate risk data for the muni universe is no longer lacking. Fixed income leaders are responding accordingly.

Hosted by The Nest Summit at Climate Week NYC

Municipal bond issuers are where the rubber meets the road on climate risk in the US. These issuers must fund and execute climate adaptation and resilience projects for their jurisdictions and customers. The property values, infrastructure and populations that underpin their financial health represent exposures to climate risk that will only grow with climate change. Now that data on bond issuers and obligors is increasingly available, it is possible to better assess the need to address climate risks and the potentially negative impacts of not doing so. Thought leaders in fixed income are now deploying and integrating this data into strategies, workflows and decisions to better evaluate the issuers in which they invest.

Cities, Investors and Infrastructure: Climate Aware Funding Strategies

Hosted by Ceres and Breckinridge Capital Advisors

Municipalities are on the front line of climate risk. Infrastructure needs to be built, repaired and replaced, all of which will require investment capital. Important considerations for investors and borrowers include determining how these long term projects are accounting for climate change and reducing risk, factoring climate resiliency, and accounting for the transition to clean energy. Climate aware funding strategies have implications for the city's bond rating and cost of capital.
