Climate risk and decarbonisation

Investors, consumers and regulators are driving the urgency to reduce emissions, and the pace of change is accelerating. How organisations respond will determine their long-term resilience, market position and future value creation.

Businesses must assess and address physical risks, like extreme weather events impacting assets, alongside transition risks such as regulatory changes and market shifts. The stakes are high, but so are the opportunities for those ready to act decisively.

Get ready for a new level of preparedness

Companies must move beyond simple carbon footprinting. Comprehensive climate risk management means understanding risks and exposures across supply chains, assets and operations.

The EY Net Zero Centre guides organisations through the complex decarbonisation and climate risk landscape. Our multi-disciplinary teams can help you to identify risks, develop strategic responses and communicate progress with your stakeholders. Our support includes:

  • Gap assessments and action plans: Help establish accurate emissions baselines across all three scopes and determine abatement options.
  • Climate risk and opportunity assessments: Unearth qualitative and quantitative insights to inform strategy.
  • Scenario analysis and stress testing: Model impacts under various climate scenarios.
  • Financial consequence quantification: Understand bottom-line impacts of climate risk.
  • Supply chain decarbonisation: Reduce emissions across complex value chains.
  • Disclosure preparation: Align with global reporting, regulatory and investor expectations.
  • Green bond advisory: Access sustainable finance.
  • Adaptation strategies: Build resilience against physical climate risks.

Transform climate challenges into strategic growth

As the world moves toward a low-carbon future, the EY Net Zero Centre is helping organisations to stay ahead of evolving regulations, anticipate market shifts and position themselves for sustainable success. A net zero New Zealand awaits.
