CONFÉRENCE I translating physical climate hazards into financial impacts

Conferences - By : Romain HUBERT

 

 

Financial actors are already exposed to the impacts of climate change on the real economy as illustrated by PG&E’s bankruptcy in early 2019. While financial institutions need to prepare for physical climate risks now, they face a lack of science-based information relevant for their decisions.
 

What are the needs of financial institutions to integrate physical climate risks in their decisions? What solutions are already emerging to fill these needs?

 

To answer these questions, the European ClimINVEST consortium shared the results of a 2-year collaboration between financial institutions and climate change specialists. The research institutions and partners in the financial sector explained how they clarified their needs and present their solutions to help integrate physical climate risk in investors’ decisions.

 

This event was an opportunity for financial practitioners to learn science-based and pragmatic recommendations about what physical climate risk assessment should look like, what kind of scientific information can be used and why, but also pave the way forward.

    The heat is on

    It is hot in Europe. Very hot. And the summer has only just begun. The recent heat wave in large parts of Europe reminds us that the forthcoming European framework for climate resilience and risk assessment comes with high stakes: it is about the safety of populations and the competitiveness of the European economy.
