With the increase in damages from climate-related extreme events,
the world is witnessing how changes in climate (and associated
regulatory and market responses) in one location can send ripples
through businesses globally. The World Economic Forum recently
highlighted failure to address climate change adaptation as one of
the top ten risks to the global economy.
In Australia there is a limited understanding about what climate
change means for the business sector or how the sector is likely
to respond. In response, NCCARF has commissioned a range of
research projects that explore these issues.
Research presented at this forum explores issues surrounding
climate change impacts and responses associated with insurance,
boardroom engagement, strata title and climate legal risk.
