Why Blackrock is Worried About Climate Change
In September 2016, the largest asset management firm in the world, Blackrock, with $5 trillion under management, released a report where it stated climate change is a material risk and “climate-proofing portfolios is a key consideration for all asset owners.” Blackrock is not the only investor that has publicly voiced concern over climate risk in its portfolio.
