How can investors assess & manage physical climate risk and support climate adaptation & resilience?

According to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments, the world will face severe climate risks before the end of this century even under low-emission scenarios. A failure to deliver timely and deep emission cuts is escalating the physical risks associated with the climate crisis. This necessitates ambitious, accelerated action to adapt to climate change. Drawing on examples from real assets, this session will explore the latest insights on how investors can assess and manage physical climate risk and resilience across their portfolios.
