Overview
Physical climate risk can no longer be treated as a future concern. Following another year of extreme climate events and growing disruption to assets, infrastructure and supply chains, the financial materiality of climate hazards is no longer a theoretical projection, it is an increasingly immediate business reality.
As we head towards 2027, financial institutions and corporates face an urgent challenge: how to understand and manage the physical climate risks to which they are increasingly exposed. These risks are already influencing asset values, insurance availability, investment decisions, operational resilience and financial planning. Corporates also need to know how the response of financial institutions will affect them.
The exceptional speaker panel at this practical, decision-maker focused conference will examine the critical challenges of physical-risk modelling and data, regulatory expectations, insurance protection gaps, legal liability, financial reporting and disclosure, while also exploring the role of financial services in financing climate adaptation, including the investment opportunities arising from the growing need for resilient infrastructure, businesses and communities.
