NZSA | Sessional Meeting Presentation. Webinar 1: Climate Scorpion – the sting is in the tail
2024-10-02 18:15 - 19:30
We are delighted to announce a two part webinar series on climate change focussing on how actuaries can contribute. We’re fortunate to have the lead author of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’ recent series of reports on climate change, Sandy Trust, join us for this insightful webinar series.
‘Climate Scorpion – the sting is in the tail’ is the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’ third report in collaboration with climate scientists. It shows that climate risks are complex, interconnected, and could threaten the basis of our society and economy.
The report introduces the concept of Planetary Solvency to support long-term policy decisions. Just as financial solvency assessments assess the ability of a financial entity to pay claims, Planetary Solvency would combine nature, climate, and societal risk assessments to assess risks to the ecosystem services that underpin our society, both now and in the future.

Actuaries: Champions of Sustainability

Join us on 14th August to understand how you can incorporate sustainability principles into your actuarial work

In 2015, all member states of the United Nations adopted ‘The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’. This includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets aimed at achieving peace and prosperity for people and the planet.

As part of a well-respected profession, actuaries are expected to act in the public’s best interest. In this context, it is vital that we play our part in this global partnership towards sustainability across developed and developing countries as well as public and private sectors.
