30 August 2019 – China Water Risk guest authors new report for CLSA U®, “Thirsty and underwater: Rising risks in the Greater Bay Area”. The Greater Bay Area (GBA) is slated for ambitious growth in China’s 13th Five Year Plan yet water risks and climate threats could sink its dreams.

As early as 2030, these rising risks could threaten key sectors that drive the region’s GDP, which was US$1.6 trillion in 2018. The report highlights sectors that are vulnerable to water and climate risks and examines the exposure of four companies listed on the stock exchanges of Hong Kong and Singapore.

Are cities in the GBA as dry as the Middle East? Where are various governments on building resilience? If not, how much of Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Macao will be underwater from storm tides and sea level rise?

To get on top of these rising risks, click here for more on the report.

Although the report is accessible to professional investors only, we will review it in our September newsletter so sign up now!

“With this guide, we hope both to illustrate why this is imperative and pressing, and what investors and companies can do to start preparing for the inevitable.”
