Climate change
Climate change is the highest priority ESG issue facing investors. The PRI works to help investors protect portfolios from risks, take advantage of opportunities and deliver real-world impact in the shift to low-carbon, resilient economies.
Getting started
An introduction to responsible investment: climate change for asset owners
This starter guide outlines the relevance of climate change to asset owners and suggests updates to investment processes, engagement and disclosures that are needed to reflect climate risk.
Climate risk: An investor resource guide
This publication provides an overview of the many resources available to help investors manage climate risk. It includes short discussions of each of the four areas of climate risk management, links to key resources and many examples of investor disclosures.
Climate programmes and investor initiatives
Implementation is key for investors’ net zero commitments. A significant proportion of PRI signatories have set near-term net zero targets consistent with the Paris Agreement. The PRI aims to help them deliver on their commitments through initatives such as the UN-convened Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance.

Inevitable Policy Response
Markets have not fully priced in imminent climate change policies, leaving portfolios at risk. Investors must act now to protect and enhance value. PRI launched this project to offer a realistic forecasting tool, helping investors navigate this evolving landscape.
Climate policy
A clear, consistent, and enabling policy environment is critical to the viability of the net zero transition, and successful policy implementation helps minimise risks to the real economy, to individual systems, and to the financial system as a whole.
Climate guidance and tools
A collection of climate related guidance and tools including introductory guides, climate reporting to the PRI and technical guides.
