Hear from Stephanie Race, Founder & CEO of Earth Analytics Group, as we dive into the connections between physical climate risk, the global food supply chain, and systemic financial risk.

As climate impacts intensify - from wildfires to water scarcity - these risks are no longer distant. They're material, and they're here to stay. This is most evident in our food system, where disrupted crop yields, shifting growing regions, and stressed supply chains are becoming the new normal.

That's why in this episode, we explore the vital and often overlooked links between climate change, food systems, and financial risk, including:

• How biophysical shocks like drought, fire, and flooding are cascading through supply chains and challenging economic stability;

• Why nature-based solutions are key to building real-world resilience - not just for farmers, but for the financial system as a whole;

• And how risk professionals can lead the transition by rethinking how we value, insure, and invest in a changing world.
