Climate Risk Case Study | Manufacturing | Pakistan
It is increasingly recognized that a c hanging climate is creating risks and opportunities for the performance of private sector investments. Yet, to date, the evidence base on the significance of these issues is poorly defined. Most climate change assessments have focused on large-scale impacts on natural and social systems, and on end of century timescales which appear to be of little relevance to business.
This report assesses the risks posed by climate change to IFC’s investment in Packages’ new Bulleh Shah Paper Mills (BSPM) at Kasur, Pakistan, and identifies potential adaptation (risk management) measures that can be used to ‘climate-proof’ the investment. A number of conclusions can now be drawn regarding climate risks at BSPM.
