Insurance and Climate Risk 2017

15 November 2017, London

Merchant Taylors Hall • 30 Threadneedle St, London, EC2R 8JB

The insurers' role in avoiding the next big source of systematic risk in the financial system.

InsuranceERM and Environmental Finance are pleased to announce the inaugural Insurance & Climate Risk conference, taking place on 15 November 2017 at the Merchant Taylors Hall in London.

Insurance is one of the industries that could be most affected by climate change due to what it insurers and what it invests in, so the aim of this conference is to bring together departments on both sides of the insurer's balance sheet so that they can discuss and learn what roles they can play in response to climate risk.
