An introduction for actuaries to climate inequality and a just transition.

Climate change is not only an environmental crisis but also a key driver of social and economic inequality. As decarbonisation efforts grow, a ‘just transition’ is crucial to ensure fair distribution of climate action’s burdens and benefits. 

In this webinar we examine: 

• how climate risks and transition policies affect vulnerable populations
• the relevance of just transition for actuaries
• how the profession can help advance equity in climate solutions

The session draws on the paper ‘Climate Inequality and Just Transition: An introduction for Actuaries’ by the IFoA Inequality of Climate Change Working Party.
