Fallout from the coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the importance of risk accounting and resilience measures in business plans. With millions of lives, as well as trillions of dollars of economic activity and both physical and natural capital, vulnerable to the adverse effects of global warming it is necessary for organizations to recognize climate risk and integrate an understanding of this risk into decision-making.
Like COVID-19, climate change threatens our collective wellbeing – particularly as the world faces unprecedented levels of geopolitical instability. This webinar explores the ways in which organizations can incorporate an understanding of climate change as a business and financial risk into their strategies and forward-planning as well as whether COVID-19 has created an opportunity to build back greener.
What is the business case for incorporating adaptation and resilience to climate risk in planning and should this be balanced with investments in mitigation? If so what are the major challenges and which sectors are particularly vulnerable to climate risk?
