MASTERCLASS

Making the Business Case for Sustainability: From Impact to Investment  

Key takeaways: 

  • Evaluate climate actions using total enterprise value, rather than carbon-abatement cost or climate risk alone. 
  • Consider mitigation and adaptation together, identifying operational trade-offs and new vulnerabilities before implementation. 
  • Account for the full value of each action, including avoided carbon costs, avoided climate losses, resilience benefits and implementation expenses. 
  • Prioritize investments by balancing emissions reductions with financial returns, operational resilience and physical and transition risks.
