FAQ

What types of climate risks affect Indian businesses?

Indian businesses face physical risks including extreme weather events (floods, cyclones, droughts), water stress in many regions, heat stress affecting productivity and supply chains, and sea level rise for coastal operations. Transition risks include carbon pricing policies, stricter environmental regulations, technology shifts rendering assets obsolete, changing consumer preferences, and market shifts toward low-carbon alternatives. Liability risks emerge from stakeholder litigation and disclosure failures.

Is climate risk assessment mandatory for Indian companies?

BRSR requires companies to report climate-related risks and opportunities, assessment processes, and adaptation measures. The Reserve Bank of India is developing climate risk frameworks for financial institutions. While comprehensive climate risk assessment following TCFD recommendations is not yet mandatory for all companies, it’s increasingly expected by investors, lenders, and international partners. Proactive assessment helps companies prepare for inevitable regulatory requirements and market expectations.

What is scenario analysis and why is it important for climate risk assessment?

Scenario analysis tests your business model’s resilience under different climate futures, typically including 1.5°C, 2°C, and 4°C warming scenarios. It examines how various physical and transition risks could impact your operations, assets, supply chains, and markets under each scenario. This forward-looking approach helps boards and management understand strategic implications, identify adaptation needs, inform capital allocation, and make informed decisions to build resilience rather than simply reacting to current conditions.

How can climate risk assessment improve my company's access to capital?

Comprehensive climate risk disclosure enhances transparency for investors and lenders who increasingly integrate climate considerations into capital allocation decisions. It demonstrates sophisticated risk management, strategic foresight, and governance maturity. Financial institutions use climate risk assessments to price loans and determine investment terms. Companies with robust climate risk management access green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, ESG funds, and insurance at favorable terms, while reducing cost of capital through enhanced investor confidence.
