One worry is that shocks to supply could drown or dry out a company’s assets. Another concern is that the price a company pays for water could rocket. A survey by CDP, a non-profit firm, found that 783 big listed companies had faced a total of $40bn of water-related losses in 2018." - The Economist Share: LinkedIn Newer Post Climate. Risks. Matter.
