Join the GARP Australia chapter for an engaging discussion on Climate Risk in Australia. While Australia’s mandatory climate reporting went live on January 1st, the new U.S. Administration’s signalled pullback on climate initiatives has created political headwinds. 

Our panel of industry leaders will provide insights on:  

  • Mandatory Climate Disclosures: What is required and how can organisations best navigate the associated challenges? 
  • Climate Scenario Analysis and Stress Testing: What does a robust analytical framework look like?
  • U.S. Climate Pullback: How could this impact the Australian agenda?
  • The real effects of ESG disclosure regulations, as observed in credit market pricing.

Registration is required as seats are limited. Priority will be given to GARP Individual Members.
