Climate Risk Management at a Crossroads? Looking Back and Ahead

In this webcast, GARP Risk Institute’s Jo Paisley, Maxine Nelson and Tim Walton will look back at how climate risk management has evolved over the four years of conducting the GARP Annual Climate Risk Management Survey. 

Within the context of evolving scientific and regulatory understanding, the GRI team will consider how firms are currently managing climate risks, where they are struggling, and how things might develop moving forward. 

Drawing on insights from their annual climate risk management surveys, this webcast covers:

•The changing external context for firms, from advances in climate science to changing regulatory expectation;

•The growing sophistication of firms’ quantification of climate risks and top challenges; 

•A look ahead to what might be in store next.
