11:00 - 12:30
Scientific research and environmental information are not frequently used in financial decision-making. However, as resource scarcities and climate extremes are poised to further exacerbate, coupled with resulting shifts in regulatory response, financial institutions are now adjusting their business models and risk management practices. They are increasingly relying on environmental information and analyses. This session will explore how to bridge the current divide between financial institutions as users of such information, and suppliers of such information, including the scientific community. It will discuss barriers, proven solutions and good practices, while differentiating ‘environmental impact’ and ‘environmental exposure’ information.
