Abstract
Environmentally minded investors often consider climate risks. Potential liabilities for climate change induced extreme weather events due to carbon emissions present risks that may not be reflected by financial markets. Considering the devastation of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, how close are we are to some companies or sectors being held liable, at least partially, for their activities? Perhaps closer than many expect.
