Carbon Footprint is an inadequate proxy for transition risk

When the EU Carbon price increases, a Utility with 24 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year will see an increase in profits

By end of 2025, an Airline will loose emission allowances worth €350m per year, tripling its compliance liability.

By 2030, a globally diversified equity portfolio is expected to loose 11% in value due to carbon pricing
