Our latest CIO Special report looks at the rising sea levels and the likely implications for economic activity and investment.

Topics covered include:

  • Rising seas will compound other effects from climate change and ocean degradation. They will have major implications for the overall macroeconomic and policy outlook, and for investment.
  • As well as causing population displacement, rising seas could have a direct impact on multiple sectors including food supply, tourism, real estate, transport and energy infrastructure. This could hurt global GDP.
  • Adaptation strategies can reduce these impacts and will involve both technology and nature-based solutions. Substantial and coordinated investments will be needed, as well as financial transfers from developed to developing economies.

The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Your capital may be at risk.

No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved. Forecasts are based on assumptions, estimates, opinions and hypothetical models which may prove to be incorrect. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Performance refers to a nominal value based on price gains/losses and does not take into account inflation. Inflation will have a negative impact on the purchasing power of this nominal monetary value. Depending on the current level of inflation, this may lead to a real loss in value, even if the nominal performance of the investment is positive.
