Evaluating Climate Risks & Opportunities

Join the New York Climate Exchange, Pace University, and the University of Miami for a two-part event focused on climate risk as perceived by the financial sector.

3:00-4:30pm

Panel 1: Evaluating Climate Risks: Financial Sector Modeling and the Insurance Industry

We will present in-depth, informative discussions focused on climate risk modeling in the financial and insurance sectors. Industry experts from corporate finance, insurance, international finance, and the public sector will present the thinking that goes behind climate risk modeling, and how these sectors are adapting their thinking to assess ever-growing climate risks.

4:30-6:00pm

Panel 2: Capturing the Resilience Dividend: Innovative Finance for Resilience Infrastructure

There is broad consensus about the need for more resilience-building infrastructure. And yet, capital tends to find the same tired solutions and ignores more transformational projects with multiple benefits.

What new data, regulatory changes, partnerships and financial structures are needed to build momentum among investors and capture gains in physical, social, and public-health improvements associated with resilience infrastructure?

The answer could lead to a new strategy of valuing and integrating successful social and health outcomes into infrastructure design and finance, unlocking the resources needed by communities on the front lines of the climate crisis.

Finance experts and resilience builders will discuss opportunities and roadblocks for innovation.
