To tackle these challenges, Robeco applies qualitative assessment on top of quantitative techniques to minimize the gap between model results and real-world outcomes. In the second part of our research entitled ‘Navigating the climate transition’, we outline our approach to these challenges through the stress testing of various climate scenarios.
