How do we accurately assess climate risk when formal measurement remains uncertain? Our upcoming webinar dives deep into practical approaches for evaluating climate shocks and long-term environmental degradation across both emerging and developed economies.
In this discussion, we will explore:
🔹 Defining the Threat: How to clearly distinguish between chronic climate pressures and discrete shock events.
🔹 Economic Impact: Translating physical risks into concrete macroeconomic, fiscal, and financial outcomes.
🔹 Navigating Uncertainty: What kinds of data, models, and judgment investors should rely on to make informed decisions today.
