What is your appetite for climate risk?
In our workshop, we discuss emerging practices around meaningfully integrating climate risk considerations into a bank’s risk appetite framework, from reputational aspects to the integration of climate risk considerations into lending and investment decisions. We will discuss select case studies and will invite participants to share their experiences.
Speaker:
Lorenz von Below, Senior Manager - PwC Luxembourg
Climatic risks and insurance, a new way to look at reserving
The emergence of repeated and massive climate-related perils has put the insurance undertakings under pressure, with even questioning on the ability of the industry to ensure insurability of some risks as well as higher scrutiny of regulators and politicians. Undoubtedly part of the solution to limit the far-reaching impact of these risks, insurers need to proactively anticipate the needs for new data set, new tools as well as monitoring and modelling techniques. This workshop will tackle the developments in this new space through the various challenges identified to date.
Speakers:
Anthony Dault, Partner and Pavel Kostyuchenko, Partner - PwC Luxembourg
