BNP Paribas and Euronext launch climate resilience index

EDHEC Climate Institute announced the launch of the Climate Resilience Index alongside BNP Paribas CIB, Euronext and Scientific Portfolio, an EDHEC Venture. The equity index solutions integrates physical climate risk resilience into investment strategies.

The resulting index combines transition-related considerations, ESG criteria and climate resilience metrics to help orient investments toward more resilient companies while remaining aligned with market requirements.

Two entities from the EDHEC ecosystem played a central role in the project:

• Scientific Portfolio, specialized in the design of equity investment strategies integrating climate objectives and constraints;
• EDHEC Climate Institute, an interdisciplinary applied research center dedicated to climate finance and climate-related challenges.

Together, the teams collaborated on the development of rigorous methodologies designed to incorporate physical climate risk considerations into equity portfolio construction.
