The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) announced the launch of the TCFD Knowledge Hub on 1^st May 2018 – the first online platform with relevant insights, tools and resources to help organizations implement the TCFD recommendations. We are proud to find our reports and studys contribute to TCFD’s goal to develop voluntary, consistent climate-related financial disclosures that are useful to investors, lenders, and insurance underwriters in understanding material risks.

In the workshop participants will become acquainted with basic elements for the implementation of the TCFD recommendations. The focus here is on integration into the organisation and, for reporting in particular, on initial insights into the scenario-based assessment of climate risks and the identification of differences in disclosing practices up to now.

The CO-Firm as a member of the organising committee takes part in the inaugural conference on 6^th March 2018 in London. The Northern European Partnership for Sustainable Finance (NEPSF) is an international collaboration of organisations and representatives from now 13 European countries aiming at aligning finance with sustainability.

According to the FSB Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (FSB TCFD) recommendations, we put a greater emphasis on scenario analysis to assess the opportunities and risks from measures taken to limit temperature change. Given the uncertain nature, probability and magnitude of these issues, scenario analysis is a particularly well-suited method to complement traditional financial analysis. We build on pilot models developed by The CO-Firm, KECH climate research and a growing body of literature to suggest ideas as to how scenario analysis could be performed and included in company valuations and investment decision-making. A series of reports will examine these insights on a select number of sectors and companies, starting with utilities. You can read the report here.
