Abstract
The purpose of this panel session is to review the nature and scale of climate change risks and liabilities faced by the insurance and financial sectors. Also to explore some of the mitigation, adaptation and emergency response strategies that are available to better manage these risks. This includes investment policies and strategies for the mitigation and management of risks due to climate change. Investments in energy resources and technology are a major consideration in this regard.
