Climate Change Risks and Opportunities Today (174)

InsTech - insurance & innovation with Matthew Grant

As the financial risks from climate change continue to increase, insurers are having to come to terms with both the short-term impact of large catastrophe events and new regulatory requirements.

Podcast 174 features insights from our Climate Change Risks and Opportunities Today live event, sponsored by S&P Global Market Intelligence, which focused on practical solutions and real examples of how insurance is responding to a changing landscape and evolving risks.

Recorded live at CodeNode in London, Matthew talks to:

• Chris Illman, Head of Responsible Business, Beazley
• Dana Foley, Head of Catastrophe Research, Chaucer Group
• Christopher Perceval, Head of ESG Business Development, EMEA, S&P Global Sustainable1

• Building risk models for Environmental, Societal and Governance (ESG) performance
