Methodology for assessing the impact of rising carbon price on asset portfolios
We evaluate the impact of carbon prices on an asset portfolio under different scenarios from two dimensions: carbon value at risk (CVaR) and implied temperature rise (ITR). Carbon value-at-risk is used to estimate the ratio of a portfolio's carbon-related asset losses to its total asset value, while implied temperature rise is a temperature indicator that measures the warming potential of a company or a portfolio.
