Climate change affects all areas of our economy. Regulators and advocates need to understand the financial risks of climate change—economic impacts that may arise from the physical impacts of climate change and climate change mitigation efforts—and how those risks will affect our communities and the economy. As the world’s central banks have increasingly identified, these risks present systemic threats to the world’s financial markets. Regulators have a role to play in ensuring that the market has an adequate understanding of these risks. The private sector also has an essential role to play in producing and disclosing data on climate financial risks and companies’ approaches to addressing those risks.


Experts in this panel will explore topics critical to understanding and harnessing climate financial risk data, including:


- a primer on climate financial risk and its relationship to physical risk;
- the role of investors and other corporate actors in producing climate risk data and addressing risks;
- the relationship between climate financial risks and environmental and climate justice; and
- key data gaps and opportunities for regulators to advance disclosure standards and industry safeguards.

- Robert Jackson, Professor of Law, New York University
