RIMScast

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Writer at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.

Today’s episode is a great one! Justin is talking climate risk with a fantastic guest — author Jeff Nesbit. His new book, This Is the Way the World Ends: How Droughts and Die-offs, Heat Waves and Hurricanes Are Converging on America, discusses climate challenges as they exist today and what we can do as a society to combat it. Aside from writing, Jeff is also currently serving as the Executive Director of Climate Nexus and contributing as an opinion writer at the New York Times, Time, U.S. News & World Report and other publications.

Some of the key topics Justin and Jeff discussed today were: the implications behind influential world leaders dismissing climate change, how governments and businesses can combat climate risk, his impressions of this year’s National Climate Assessment, and his recommendations to what risk managers should be looking into now.
