Climate-related risks are a source of financial risk. There is a growing consciousness among regulators and the financial industry that a changing climate and shifting policies hold considerable risks, not solely for carbon intensive industries. Our panel will discuss how financial policymakers could ensure a timely low-carbon transition while preserving economic prosperity. How will the responsibilities, costs and benefits be distributed? Will the private financial system align to societal objectives?
