Climate
Transitioning to the low carbon economy and averting catastrophic climate change will require trillions of dollars of investment. Global capital markets have a huge role to play in mobilising and allocating this capital most efficiently, investing in new technologies and reducing investment in at-risk assets. To achieve this, climate risk in lending and investment portfolios, as well as within corporate business models, needs to be properly priced. Risk.net provides a unique platform for discussing the enormous challenges of climate risk modelling, showcasing the latest innovations, techniques and approaches to climate risk, and keeping abreast of changing regulatory imperatives.
