Is Coal A Sinking Ship?
The CTI report " Carbon Supply Cost Curves: Evaluating Financial Risk to Coal Capital Expenditures" provides investors and coal companies with a tool – the carbon supply cost curve – which helps identify the projects where the most financial risk lies and direct capital away from them.

Yksi johtavista hiiliriskien asiantuntijoista, Carbon Tracker Initiativen CEO Anthony Hobley kertoi Sitran järjestämässä keskustelutilaisuudessa tuoreista tutkimuksista. Näiden mukaan sijoittajien pitäisi havahtua analysoimaan niitä taloudellisia riskejä, joita fossiilisiin polttoaineisiin kohdistuvilla sijoituksilla on.
CEO Anthony Hobley from Carbon Tracker Initiative shared the results from their latest studies regarding Wasted Capital and Stranded Assets in a discussion with Sitra. According to him, investors need to analyse the financial risks related to investments in high-cost, high-carbon fossil fuel assets.

Speaker: Peter Newell, Professor of International Relations, University of Sussex
The project of development is very much implicated in the production of climate change, as well as how it has been managed to date. But can the development sector also help to bring about the sorts of transformations now required to prevent climate chaos?
This lecture looks at the intertwined histories of development and climate change and argues that only a very different approach to development can help to address the climate crisis we currently face.
This lecture is part of the Sussex Development Lecture series: Achieving the SDGs: Synergies and Tensions.

This document describes BHP Billiton’s scenario planning approach, including the potential portfolio implications of a transition to a 2°C world, where the global average temperature increase stays below 2°C relative to pre-industrial levels. Our analysis shows that the portfolio is resilient due to long-term demand, high-quality resources, low production costs and rapid payback periods of growth projects. In a 2°C world, we believe there is a likelihood of upside for uranium, high-quality metallurgical coal and iron ore. In addition, we expect that copper is resilient and would offer continued opportunity for growth. The Company’s gas exposure
may also provide significant opportunities during a transition to a lower emissions economy although in the long run, emissions from the use of natural gas will also need to decline. In aggregate, we anticipate these commodities are robust and mitigate potential negative impacts on other commodities. Depending on the speed of transition and the energy choices made, we will have opportunities to mitigate the impacts on the value of our portfolio through selectively investing in the commodities that will benefit from structural market changes. The document has four chapters, each providing additional insight into BHP Billiton’s approach to climate change, actions we are taking and analysis of potential impacts on our portfolio.
A cockamamie report encouraging investors to divest from fossil fuels "before it's too late" to do so. The entire thrust of the argument is based on the incorrect theory that mankind is causing the earth to warm catastrophically. With reports this dumb from HSBC, you have to wonder why anyone does business with them!
La décarbonisation des portefeuilles d'investissementThe Shift Project
Présentation de Frédéric Samama, de chez Amundi, aux Ateliers du Shift Project du 9 juin 2015, questionnant les manières d'investir en réduisant son impact environnemental.
In today's milieu we all are facing an issue of global warming. Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. Normally, this radiation would escape into space—but these pollutants, which can last for years to centuries in the atmosphere, trap the heat and cause the planet to get hotter. So, To combat with this issue a KYOTO PROTOCOL agrrement signed in 1977.

Presentation for The Art of Living Summer Retreat
There is increasing pressure on energy producers from climate risks. One key concept which is gaining prominence in lieu of the risks is “Carbon Bubble” and the related impact of divestment movement. As a part of the Paris climate agreement, 192 countries reaffirmed their commitment to reduce emissions and limiting the global temperature increase to less than 20C. Energy producing companies are under scrutiny from investors, shareholders, employees and customers and other related stakeholders to reduce carbon footprint and to demonstrate that their business are aligned to help build an efficient “Low Carbon Portfolio”. The goal is to channelize investments, assess climate risks and opportunities and mitigate future climate change trajectories, align it as key service for fossil fuel energy divestment, portfolio and asset management.

Unburnable Carbon - Are the world's financial markets carrying a carbon bubble?Marcellus Drilling News
A "report" issued by the global warming true believers at the Carbon Tracker Institute. The report makes the false claim that fossil fuel companies are vastly overvalued because the assets they own, carbon in the ground, will never get used because so-called renewable sources are coming on strong and will replace those sources. The point they try to make is that oil and gas companies are essentially worthless and investors should stay away from them. What they call a "carbon bubble." Horse manure.
The effect of adverse climate change is of major concern worldwide and several approaches are being developed to mitigate against anticipated economic and social disaster. Carbon emissions has been identified as a major contributor to the adverse climate change and following the Kyoto protocol , European countries have , through a caucus, effected a market to reward or fine members depending on their compliance position. The commodity for the market is the carbon emission credits. Stochastic models for pricing of options on these credits are considered in this paper. In particular, we determine the price basing on the Normal Inverse Gaussian and the Brownian Motion models. Maximum Likelihood Estimation is applied to determine model parameter estimates in each case. It is shown that the Normal Inverse Gaussian model has a better fit to the data but gives higher prices for a given strike price , compared to the Brownian Motion model.

Who we are
4. Our formula
...by translating climate science and policy
into the language of finance.
Our work is aimed to align climate risk
with capital market risk...
5. What we do
Our research has created a new debate around
climate change and investment.
8. We are not about divestment
…an easy and powerful bit
of arithmetical analysis
first published by financial analysts
in the U.K. has been
making the rounds…
(it) up-ends most of the
conventional political thinking
about climate change.
And it allows us to understand
our precarious position with….
simple numbers”.
Bill McKibben, Co-founder of
350.org
9. We are about responsible
risk management
This report shows very clearly
the gross inconsistency between
current valuations of fossil fuel
assets and the path governments
have committed to take in order
to manage the huge risks
of climate change.

12. Carbon budget deficit for listed companies
Current listed reserves (762
GtCO2)
far exceed a quarter of
the carbon budgets
but could double (1541 GtCO2)
If we break the 2 C budget we
very quickly hit 2.5 C and 3 C
Use new analysis of financial riskEngage with companies on strategy and CAPEXAsk for more cash to be returnedIdentify companies with best position – more gas and low cost conventionalsUse resolutions to push those that don’t respond for explanations of business modelGet company to diversify or reallocate within fundIf no progress and can deviate from the benchmark then sell down the holdingBut market is not set up to deal with this kind of long term systemic risk, so only likely to see some marginal shifts. Not enough to bring within the budget. Hence regulators need to step in and align markets with climate targets.
