Comment Text:
Dear Committee,
We summarize in the attachment our recent research on climate-related financial risk factors that we believe are underpriced by the U.S. equity markets. Our research adds critical, new evidence-derived findings to an expanding and important strand of peer-reviewed academic literature on climate risk in financial markets.
Thank you for the opportunity to inform the Committee.
