Climate change is already here and intensifying, so are the risks. Everyone is affected: either first hand, through floods, hurricanes, fire, drought, or extreme temperatures, or through interconnections in global financial, economic, and social systems.

 

While climate risk is starting to be recognized by financial markets, corporations, countries and individuals, many are still over exposed to many risks. That is why McKinsey has undertaken a new research effort to help key decision-makers objectively understand the specific physical risks of climate change, illustrate the socio-economic impact that can be expected in the near-term, and identify actions to manage that risk.

 

At this workshop, McKinsey will lead a working session for stakeholders on how they can better identify and understand the risk they are exposed to, learn from actions being taken across the world, and put in place a new paradigm to manage climate risk and prevent further risk build up.
