The EDHEC Climate Institute (ECI) supports finance professionals and decision-makers in navigating the challenges of climate change through cutting-edge research and practical tools. Our work focuses on six key areas: Physical Risks, Transition Risks, Resilience & Transition Technologies, Climate Scenarios, Green Assets, and Climate Regulation & Policies.
With a strong track record in climate finance, ECI develops innovative approaches to physical and transition risks—particularly Scope 3 emissions, consumer behavior, and emerging technologies. We also provide independent insights into how climate change impacts asset pricing and investment strategy.
Through close collaboration with academia, industry, and public stakeholders, ECI fosters targeted partnerships to accelerate the transition to a low-emission, climate-resilient economy.
New Interactive Climate & Economic Visualisations
The EDHEC Climate Institute is releasing two new interactive visualisations that combine scientific rigour with accessibility, enabling users ― including scientists, policymakers, financial professionals, and the broader public to explore future climate and emissions pathways, and their projected economic impacts.
Research Programmes
Resilience & Transition Tech
Engineering and technology-driven insights for decarbonisation and climate resilience in infrastructure.
Green Assets
Quantify the climate-related risk for different types of assets (infrastructure, real estate and listed companies) for investors worldwide.
Climate Scenarios
Complement existing benchmark climate scenarios with probabilistic information, and improve their sectoral and regional granularity.
Transition Risks
Quantify the financial impacts of climate risk related to a transition toward a low carbon economy. It is approached through a complete vision considering the specific geo-sectoral aspects.
Physical Risks
Develop methods to quantify climate change-driven physical risk impacts across time and space, with a particular focus on critical infrastructure, real estate and listed equities.
Climate Regulation & Policies
Examine the norms shaping climate risk assessment and management, providing insights to integrate risks into decision-making and support the low-emission transition.

The EDHEC Climate Institute is proud to announce that Riccardo Rebonato (Professor of Finance, EDHEC Business School; Senior Advisor, EDHEC Climate Institute), and co-authors Lionel Melin (Associate Researcher, EDHEC Climate Institute), Dherminder Kainth (Former Research Director, EDHEC Climate Institute) and Dominic O’Kane (Professor of Finance, EDHEC Business School; Research Director, EDHEC Climate Institute), have been awarded the 2024 Best Paper Award by the International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance (IJTAF) for their article “Optimal Climate Policy with Negative Emissions”. This award recognises the authors’ important contribution highlighting the crucial role of negative emissions technologies (NETs) in climate policy, through a significant modification of the DICE model aligned with state-of-the-art climate science.
