The nonprofit economic analysis institution, set to convene next week in Davos, Switzerland, for its yearly meeting, has labeled climate change or related environmental phenomena—extreme weather, major natural catastrophes, mounting greenhouse gas levels, water scarcity, flooding, storms and cyclones—among the top five most likely and significant economic threats the world faced in each of its annual reports. 【F1】
The recently released report, the latest installment of a report the World Economic Forum has published since nine years ago, marks the first time an environmental risk tops the rankings.
【F2】
"Climate change is posing more risks than ever before in terms of water crises, food shortages, constrained economic growth, weaker societal cohesion and increased security risks."
Cecilia Reyes, the chief risk officer of Zurich Insurance Group Ltd., one of the organizations that worked on the report, said in a statement.
Climate change is compounding and amplifying other social, economic and humanitarian stresses globally. It is linked to mass and often forced migration; violent conflict between nations and regions; water crises; and, as the world population rises and simultaneously gets hotter, food shortages, the report reads.
Nigel Purvis, the CEO of Climate Advisors, a Washington, D.C.-based consultancy, said the private sector is acutely aware of the threats climate change wields. 【F3】
"This is growing evidence that the global business community appreciates the increasing risk that climate change poses to the profitability of companies and the stability of their markets."
said Purvis, who crafted climate policies within the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations.
Economists, regulators and financial experts have become increasingly vocal about climate risks. Alex Bernhardt, the U.S. head of responsible investment for Mercer LLC, the global consulting firm with about $9 trillion in assets under advisement, said the WEF report emphasized that climate change is a "catalytic issue" becoming more important within corporate boardrooms. 【F4】
He said focus on climate change issues, which kept up with corporate pledges to cut emissions during the run-up to the Paris climate conference, hasn’t slowed in recent weeks.
"The agreement was a starting point, not an end point, let’s put it that way", he added.
【F5】
From flooding that can swamp shoreline real estate, to less water for farmers and businesses domestic and international, to a changing power supply for electric utilities, the consulting firm for which Bernhardt works views climate change and its knock-on effects as investment concerns.
"It’s a risk that needs to be managed," Bernhardt said, "the challenge, historically, is that it’s been treated as an uncertainty."
【F3】
