Securing planetary solvency: bringing climate risk to life
A new short film and event from Chapter Zero brought climate risk to life at FRAMELESS art gallery as part of a project aiming to inspire board directors to drive action on this critical issue.
Following the film's first screening, Lord Deben (John Gummer), former Chair of the Climate Change Committee, Emma Howard Boyd CBE, former Chair of the Environment Agency and the London Climate Resilience Review, and Anthony Hobley, Deputy Chair, Climate, Risk & Resilience, Howden Group, and Jeremy Mathieu, Head of Sustainability at ITV and non-executive director at BAFTA albert addressed the work of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and University of Exeter which suggests that current climate-scenario models are significantly underestimating climate risk and economic impact. The experts at this unique experiential and immersive event provided a powerful perspective on climate risk and the business case for urgent board action.
