To shed a light on these questions, we analyse a sample of 69 transition risk metrics delivered by 9 different … climate transition risk providers and covering the 1,500 firms of the MSCI World index. Our findings show that convergence … between metrics is significantly higher for the firms most exposed to transition risk. We also show that metrics with similar …
