In an increasingly interconnected world, unchecked climate change presents a profound risk to our future economic prosperity. Decisive action is required to reverse this trend and create a prosperous, solvent planet.

The IFoA’s work suggests that current climate-scenario models are significantly underestimating climate risk and economic impact. These insights highlight the need for a new approach from both the boardroom and government, bringing climate risk to the forefront through education and new frameworks.

Join Chapter Zero for a unique experiential event that will bring to life the potential impact of climate risk and the undisputed benefits of climate action for boards, building on the robust science-based modelling and risk insights in reports from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) and the University of Exeter.

This discussion will feature contributions from senior business and civil society leaders. We are delighted to confirm that we will be joined by Lord Deben, former Chair of the Climate Change Committee, for a keynote address. We will also host remarks from Emma Howard Boyd CBE, former Chair of the Environment Agency and the London Climate Resilience Review as part of an expert on expert discussion. Emma now Chairs the National Heat Risk Commission and is Professor in Practice, UK Adaptation and Resilience at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change & the Environment.

This exclusive gathering of senior leaders will take place in-person at FRAMELESS art gallery in Marble Arch. Participants will experience a creative approach to communicating climate change and its relevance to business, including powerful multimedia content, impactful speeches and expert on expert discussions alongside Q&A and a tailored group exercise focused on navigating climate risk.
