Climate-Resilient Portfolios: Navigating Investment Risks and Opportunities

Dr. Maddela Prasanthi

Abstract 

As the climate becomes increasingly unpredictable, investors face a crucial challenge: building investment portfolios that can withstand the risks of climate change while seizing opportunities in the shift to a low-carbon economy. This paper offers a detailed framework for creating and managing investment portfolios designed to be resilient to climate risks. Our approach centers on integrating climate risk assessment and scenario analysis into strategic asset allocation. We delve into why this is essential, examining how different types of climate-related risks—such as physical risks, transition risks, and liability risks—can influence investment performance. The paper provides a clear, step-by-step guide for embedding these considerations into every stage of portfolio management, from initial risk evaluations to continuous monitoring and periodic adjustments. The ultimate aim is to empower investors with practical tools and actionable insights to tackle the challenges of climate change while pursuing sustainable, long-term returns.

Status of Political Science Education in School Curriculum in Tripura: A Study

Dr. Pradip Dey

Abstract 

Political Science education in schools plays a pivotal role in fostering civic awareness, critical thinking, and an understanding of governance among students. However, the integration of Political Science into the school curriculum often varies across different regions and institutions, influenced by multiple factors including policy directives, resource availability, and societal perceptions of the subject's importance. Despite the crucial role that Political Science plays in nurturing civic responsibility, there is limited comprehensive research focusing specifically on its presence and efficacy in the academic curriculum of Tripura. The status of Political Science education in the school curriculum of Tripura reveals a landscape that reflects both the aspirations and challenges of the region. While the inclusion of political science in the curriculum aims to foster civic awareness and critical thinking among students, its implementation often faces hurdles such as inadequate resources, limited teacher training, and varying levels of student engagement. Recent studies indicate that while urban schools tend to offer more comprehensive political education, rural institutions struggle with curriculum delivery, impacting students' understanding of democratic principles and governance. Furthermore, the content often lacks relevance to local political contexts, which can disengage students from the subject matter. To enhance the effectiveness of political science education in Tripura, it is essential to tailor the curriculum to reflect local issues, invest in teacher development, and create interactive learning environments that encourage active participation in civic life.
