EDHEC Climate Institute

The EDHEC Climate Institute (ECI) supports finance professionals and decision-makers in navigating the challenges of climate change through cutting-edge research and practical tools. Our work focuses on six key areas: Physical Risks, Transition Risks, Resilience & Transition Technologies, Climate Scenarios, Green Assets, and Climate Regulation & Policies.

With a strong track record in climate finance, ECI develops innovative approaches to physical and transition risks, particularly Scope 3 emissions, consumer behavior, and emerging technologies. We also provide independent insights into how climate change impacts asset pricing and investment strategy.

Through close collaboration with academia, industry, and public stakeholders, ECI fosters targeted partnerships to accelerate the transition to a low-emission, climate-resilient economy.

Climate Risk Research for Institutional Investors

This supplement examines geo-sectoral climate damage, climate state-dependent discount factors, and methods for translating climate data into financially relevant metrics. It also explores the impact of climate risk on infrastructure valuation, weather dynamics in commodities markets, resilience and decarbonisation in the EU Taxonomy, sustainability standards for hotel assets, and how progress in disclosure has reshaped finance.

Research Programmes

Resilience & Transition Tech

Engineering and technology-driven insights for decarbonisation and climate resilience in infrastructure.

Green Assets

Quantify the climate-related risk for different types of assets (infrastructure, real estate and listed companies) for investors worldwide.

Climate Scenarios

Complement existing benchmark climate scenarios with probabilistic information, and improve their sectoral and regional granularity.

Transition Risks

Quantify the financial impacts of climate risk related to a transition toward a low carbon economy. It is approached through a complete vision considering the specific geo-sectoral aspects.

Physical Risks

Develop methods to quantify climate change-driven physical risk impacts across time and space, with a particular focus on critical infrastructure, real estate and listed equities.

Climate Regulation & Policies

Examine the norms shaping climate risk assessment and management, providing insights to integrate risks into decision-making and support the low-emission transition.
