Climate and nature risk through the lens of financial materiality
Join us for an invite-only, interactive breakfast for leaders in finance and business exploring how climate and nature-related risks translate into measurable financial exposure.
Climate risk has already started to shape how financial institutions think about portfolio resilience. Nature risk is the next, more complex wave, and the scientific and regulatory signals are already here. Recent ECB research found that three-quarters of European companies are critically dependent on ecosystem services, and those same companies account for three-quarters of all corporate bank lending in the region. Central banks are therefore treating nature loss as a critical financial stability issue.
This session, hosted by GIST Impact, sets out what quantifying nature risk means in practice: how it's modelled, where it occurs within a business or a portfolio, and how to start to take action on this sort of data. Speakers will draw on recent case studies and the latest methodological advances, with structured discussions giving participants the chance to work through the implications for their own organisations.
The discussion will address:
How disruption to natural systems flows through to earnings and portfolio exposure
What the leading methodological advances are and where nature value at risk sits in the broader risk framework
How financial institutions and corporations are applying this today
Where transition risk fits in as externalities begin to internalise through regulation and pricing
Our speakers include:
Pavan Sukhdev, Founder, GIST Impact and Visiting Professor in Practice, Grantham Institute (LSE)
Andrew Probert, Managing Partner, ERM
Ginni Goldin, Climate and Investment Risk Analyst, Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM)
Valeria Dinershteyn, Director of Sustainable Investing and Client Engagement, EMEA and APAC, Northern Trust
Facilitated by Dr. Thomas Moran, Head of Nature & Biodiversity Products, GIST Impact.
🥐 Continental breakfast, teas and coffees will be provided.
We hope to see you there!
