Article summary

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has published a sensitivity analysis of climate-related transition risks in the investment portfolio of European insurers. The report discusses current holdings of corporate bonds and equity that can be linked to relevant climate-policy sectors including fossil fuel extraction and carbon-intensive industries. Additionally, the report quantifies potential climate-change related transition risks and offers insights into the potential impacts on these investments as economies move away from fossil-fuel dependent energy production and carbon-intensive production.
