There has been an ongoing conversation relating climate change and pension schemes. Is it realistic to claim that climate change affects pension schemes?

This article discusses and provides insights on how this is practical in reference to Africa.

This can include companies in their portfolios being impacted by natural disasters or facing regulatory pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, leading to a decrease in their financial performance.
