Ceres’ annual Climate Risk Scorecard assesses the actions that U.S. federal financial regulators have taken within their existing authority to address the systemic impacts of climate-related financial risk. How have these 10 agencies already integrated climate risk into their regulatory activities?

Unveiling Company Progress on Water Stewardship
November 7, 2023, 11am ET
The global water crisis—the result of decades of mismanagement, population growth, and climate change—is getting worse, and so are the financial risks facing companies. It's clear: corporate water management approaches must adapt to the changing state of water resources. The new Valuing Water Finance Initiative benchmark assesses where 72 companies from four water-intensive industries—food, beverage, apparel, and high-tech—are on this journey to protect their bottom lines and help ensure a water-sustainable future for all by 2030. |
