About

In the UK as elsewhere, we are seeing extreme weather conditions, which will continue to worsen as we approach 2050, and perhaps beyond. Against this background, financial institutions of all kinds – banks, asset managers and insurers – need to put in place climate adaptation plans as part of their overall business continuity planning. These need to include the direct impact of climate change on running their own businesses and the indirect impact of the changing climate on borrowers, investee companies, policy holders, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders.

The 2nd Annual Climate Adaptation and Resilience Summit takes a detailed look at all the key issues in the round. It combines keynote addresses, panel discussions and individual presentations to provide delegates with a 360-degree understanding of the topics that they need to take account of when drafting or updating their climate adaptation plans.
