Tue 05 Sept 2023 - This talk covers how to build a sustainable, financial and economic system to deliver a future worth living in. The session will look at the big picture, including:
Speakers: Sandy Trust, Kaisie Rayner and Rosanna Harvey-Crawford
Chair: Sarah Ivory
Sandy is the Past-Chair of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries Sustainability Board and Vice-Chair of the International Actuarial Association’s Climate Change and Sustainability Committee. He is the lead author of a series of collaborative research reports which bring together science and risk, seeking to improve policymaker level risk management. The latest report, ‘Planetary Solvency – finding our balance with nature’, explores how actuarial techniques can help society manage climate change and other risks.
This builds on the findings from ‘Climate Scorpion – the sting is in the tail’, which highlighted concerns around carbon budgets being unrealistic and ‘The Emperor’s New Climate Scenarios’ – which highlighted the limitations of commonly used climate scenarios.
Sandy’s personal mission is to help reconnect finance and the economy to nature and the biosphere to deliver a future worth living in.
He works with investors and advises a number of regulatory and policymaker groups on these topics.
