Join our panel of experts as we explore the key barriers to climate risk innovation in the financial sector, and what can be done to break them.

Finance has a critical role to play in enabling the transition to a more resilient, sustainable, low carbon world. The transition offers huge opportunities for insurers, banks and asset managers. However, as physical risks escalate and a disorderly transition appears increasingly likely, innovation has a potentially transformative role in both mitigating and managing those risks.

In this webcast, we will explore the climate risk innovation ecosystem and identify key barriers to adoption and implementation in the financial sector. We will hear from a range of stakeholders – from innovators to financial practitioners to policy experts – as we holistically consider the available actions that will help shape the future of the risk management in this critical sector.
