Join us for this interactive discussion that dives into the interconnected risks and opportunities associated with a changing climate. We will look at the extent to which businesses have to balance growth with climate impacts, particularly focusing on emissions levels to meet targets aligned to the Paris agreement aimed at keeping global temperature increases to 1.5°C—while considering the impact that this will have on your business operations.

• What the physical, transition and liability risks are when discussing climate risk
• The interconnectivity of physical, transition and liability risk and the relationship between economic growth and emissions
