The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity and S&P Global are convening a workshop to explore, better understand and move toward evaluating methods currently being used by the finance community, including regulators, to quantify global macroeconomic physical climate risks, and to identify ways that these methods could be improved, may be biased, or may be incomplete. The workshop will provide an opportunity for communication and dialogue across physical, economic, and financial disciplines.
Attendance is by invitation only.
Organizers:
WCRP: Steven Sherwood, Thomas Lontzek, Karl Schmedders, Narelle van der Wel, Megha Kaveri
