The manager sees climate risks as likely to develop in a “non-linear” way, i.e., sudden economic shocks, such as extreme weather events, rather than a constant transition, leading to “winners and losers in all sectors”.
However, Dutronc believes that sectors highly exposed to carbon emissions will have “more losers than winners”, while those who have already understood the need for transition and acted accordingly will be the “winners of the future”.
