This CFRF report presents nine case studies demonstrating how quantitative climate scenario analysis informs financial decisions. It assesses physical and transition risks across assets, sectors and geographies, translating climate pathways into impacts on valuations, credit risk and losses to support risk-based decision-making.

This study estimates global climate change impacts on six staple crops using subnational data and observed adaptation. Yields fall by about 4.4% of recommended calories per 1 °C warming. Adaptation and income growth offset losses partially, but substantial global and regional yield declines remain.

The report links unprecedented climate extremes to sharp food price spikes, documenting recent global cases. It finds these shocks worsen inequality, food security, health outcomes, inflation volatility and political stability, and argues for stronger mitigation, adaptation, forecasting and social safety nets to manage rising systemic risks.

This investor briefing outlines sustainability risks and opportunities across the lithium-ion battery value chain. It examines mineral extraction, processing, manufacturing and end-of-life impacts, highlights supply-chain concentration and ESG risks, and provides guidance on disclosure, engagement, circularity and responsible investment strategies.

This report argues that insurability is a strategic indicator of financial viability in a climate-disrupted economy. It explains how insurance, risk modelling, resilience investment, and policy alignment shape access to capital, asset values, and transition finance, urging leaders to embed insurability into decision-making.

Systematic review of 300 studies (2015-2025) finds coordinated misinformation and greenwashing by corporate, political, and media actors undermine climate science, eroding trust and delaying policy. Research is Global North–centric. Evidence supports regulation, litigation, coalitions, and education to strengthen information integrity.

The report estimates AI chip manufacturing electricity use rose from 218 GWh in 2023 to 984 GWh in 2024, driven by East Asian production. By 2030, demand could reach 11,550 - 37,238 GWh, sharply increasing emissions unless renewable electricity adoption accelerates.

This IEA report examines how common, transparent criteria for sustainable fuels could support decarbonisation. It compares existing standards, highlights inconsistencies in definitions, and proposes supply-chain greenhouse gas intensity as a basis for fair comparison and policy alignment.

The Lancet comment argues that integrating planetary boundaries and planetary health frameworks is essential to protect human health. It outlines health risks from Earth system destabilisation, stresses justice and equity, and calls for coordinated research, policy alignment, and improved monitoring and communication.

International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE) is an independent, non-profit scientific organisation based in Switzerland providing policymakers, industry and civil society with actionable scientific assessments on threats to the global information environment, including disinformation, AI bias and algorithmic manipulation. Hundreds of researchers contribute to IPIE’s reports.

Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) is a World Bank–hosted global partnership supporting disaster risk reduction and climate resilience. It provides funding, data, analytics and policy guidance to help governments manage natural hazards, reduce vulnerability, and build resilient development pathways worldwide.

Theia Finance Labs is a non-profit research and innovation organisation focused on climate finance and financial system transformation. It develops open research, tools and methodologies to assess climate alignment, transition risk and systemic change, supporting investors, policymakers and financial institutions to align markets with climate goals and sustainability objectives globally.

The report outlines how climate-related risks threaten supply chains and presents seven practical steps to strengthen resilience through supplier engagement. It stresses clear objectives, data use, prioritisation, incentives and cross-functional collaboration to drive emissions reduction, improve transparency and align procurement with long-term sustainability and risk-management goals.

The report reviews 109 financial institutions with policies excluding nuclear weapon producers, assessing policy scope and implementation. It finds 55 institutions apply comprehensive exclusions, while others retain gaps or exposures, reflecting growing financial-sector alignment with the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

The report analyses Israel’s alleged use of the ‘Lavender’ AI decision-support system and facial recognition in Gaza, assessing compliance with international humanitarian law. It highlights risks from inaccuracy, bias, automation and opacity, concluding that commanders must retain judgement and verification to meet targeting obligations.

United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is an intergovernmental body within United Nations system made up of 47 Member States responsible for the promotion and protection of all human rights around the globe.
