The World Gold Council and its members recognise that climate change imposes very substantial risks to the global economy and socio-economic development. Policy makers, industry participants, investors, asset owners, and wider society are now eager for a greater understanding of these risks and their potential consequences, and how they might be mitigated or managed in future.
To contribute to a clearer, more consistent appreciation of how climate-related risks (and opportunities) might impact the future prospects of the gold industry and its many stakeholders, we have undertaken a programme of research, in collaboration with leading sustainability experts and academics.
