Climate risk mitigation investment brings eightfold returns on average
CDP has found a median US$33.1 million worth of opportunities per company that takes environmental action.
Every dollar invested in physical climate risk mitigation brings US$8 in return on average, and up to US$21 for some firms, according to new research by CDP.
The cost of inaction in the face of intensifying climate disasters is projected to reach US$38 trillion annually by 2050 – but CDP analysis shows that investing in climate disclosures and acting on the collected data brings exponential returns.
