Addressing adaptation head-on requires active engagement in a risk-management dialogue. Although the private sector as a whole has been less engaged with climate change, they have an incredible toolbox for fiscal risk management that can and should be brought to bear on climate change. A number of organizations have been working towards economic risk management frameworks for climate change, with a variety of interesting and valuable results. This session brings this dialogue to the fore, as a panel of leading thinkers and practitioners from Deloitte, LLP, Valley Vision, Next10 and The Risky Business Project, share organizational, regional and national scale risk management frameworks for understanding (and valuing) the economic risks of climate change. Gain a new set of analytic lenses through which to consider economic uncertainty caused by climate change and tools to manage climate risk.
