Actuarial Adaptation: Exploring New Roles for Actuaries in Response to Climate Change

This webinar will explore new practice areas for actuaries in the context of climate change. It aims to provide a broad overview of areas where actuaries can apply their skills and expertise to assist with climate change risks and opportunities, and thereby support the transition to a low-carbon economy, whilst also helping to manage the risks associated with such a transition (including not transitioning). The session will draw on current literature, case studies, industry practice and stakeholder interviews. The session covers current and potential areas of practice relating to climate risk management, risk and emissions modelling, insurance, finance and investments, strategy setting, governance, reporting and regulation, government, and other areas of corporate support. The webinar also addresses, at a high level, areas in which actuaries will be required to enhance their technical climate knowledge to enable actuarial practice.
