This session will explain the reasons that financial institutions will be considering on how climate risk may affect them. Not only does it make good business sense, but regulators, investors and Directors have all been clear about what they expect of business. The recent report of the Financial Stability Board Task Force on Climate-related Financial Dislosures ups the ante further by providing recommended climate risk disclosures that companies should consider making to stakeholders. Whilst these disclosures are voluntary, there are high expectations that they will be acted on. Its time for business to catch up to the science. |

Audio The session will examine the recommendations made by the Task Force on Climate –related Financial Disclosures from the pragmatic view of what data the finance sector will need to make disclosures.
The disclosure recommendations acknowledge that climate related impacts can occur over the short, medium and long term and that organisations can experience both chronic and acute impacts. The panel will discuss how addressing these will require the finance sector to work with many different types of data.
The discussion will conclude with the panellists' view of their own organisation's top three 'data needs. |
