Talking Climate and Sustainability

In this episode, Carlos Sanchez, Director of Climate Resilient Finance at Willis Towers Watson, talks about the recent progress in climate finance around correctly pricing climate risk. Carlos also shares an update on the cross-sectoral work of the Coalition for Climate Resilient Investment (CCRI) and how their approach is helping correctly price climate risk, and how CFA UK are developing a certification on climate and investing, training the next generation in understanding how climate risks and opportunities arise.

In this latest episode, Rowan Douglas, Head of the Climate and Resilience Hub at Willis Towers Watson, explores the challenges of an orderly transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy - from massive industrial transformation to economic dislocation. As climate change becomes increasingly integrated into mainstream financial decision making and organisations respond to their own risks, navigating an orderly transition will depend on climate risk and the wider implications for communities and society being recognised as a responsibility that we all share.

Welcome to the first episode of Talking Climate and Resilience with our host Nidia Martinez, Director at the Climate and Resilience Hub. In this episode we will be speaking with John Haley, the CEO of Willis Towers Watson. John will be discussing why climate change is a responsibility that we all share globally. Moreover he elaborates how Willis Towers Watson can help to quantify and manage risks that come with climate change. This can mean anything from helping our clients understand extreme weathers and natural catastrophes to managing perspectives and mitigating such risks.
