Climate change is one of the greatest risks to mankind. Governments, firms and individuals are seeking solutions to protect themselves and the planet from these risks. The presentation will discuss physical risks and transition risks and their implications for portfolios, banks, insurance and regulation. To achieve climate goals, global cooperation will be essential, and the Paris agreement on net zero commitments is a new approach with both promise and pitfalls.

About Keynote Speaker: Robert Engle, Professor Emeritus of Finance at New York University Stern School of Business, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for his research on the concept of autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH). He developed this method for statistical modeling of time-varying volatility and demonstrated that these techniques accurately capture the properties of many time series. Professor Engle shared the prize with Clive W. J. Granger of UCSD. Professor Engle is the Co-Director of the Volatility and Risk Institute at NYU Stern. In this role he has developed research tools to track risks in the global economy and make these publicly available on the V-LAB website.
