Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/3FKA44i The traditional approach to risk management of using probabilities and discounting to assess frequency and impact works well with repeatable risks, such as mortality, theft, and weather events, but it becomes more problematic with long term systemic risks such as climate change and biodiversity. In this webinar, I’ll discuss the challenges of dealing with these risks, and the role of the financial services industry in addressing them.
