Episode 15: How are the experiences of 2020 shaping our approach to climate risk?

Energetics Season 1 Episode 15

In a year in which we’ve heard the word ‘unprecedented’ used many times, risk management is front and centre for organisations; particularly how they identify and prepare for large scale, high impact, business disruptions. The reality of our changing climate – and what we are doing about it – was highlighted with the devastating bushfires in Australia and the US. But while climate risk issues have been vigorously discussed in the past, they have not perhaps always been robustly addressed. There have been many initiatives aimed at increasing the awareness of climate risk, the assessment of the impacts of climate risk, and improving market disclosures in relation to exposure to climate risk, including the TCFD. So what, if anything, has changed - or is changing - in how we manage (and disclose) climate risk and build resilience?
