In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, Alma Cortes‑Selva of the BMO Climate Institute speaks with Viola Lutz, Head of the Moody’s Climate Center of Excellence, about how climate risk analytics are reshaping the way businesses prepare for increasingly severe natural disasters. The conversation explores what physical risk analytics are, why they matter, and how they translate hazard data into actionable insights for organizations.

The discussion also examines the growing role of AI in climate and risk analytics—from post‑disaster event response to proactive portfolio monitoring—highlighting how technology, combined with strong governance, can help organizations move from reactive risk management to forward‑looking resilience planning.
