Thursday, July 24, 2025

Location
One Financial Center Boston, MA 02111 Room: Second Floor, Assembly Rooms AB

Extreme weather events and chronic climate hazards—such as heatwaves, water scarcity, and drought—pose significant financial risks across all sectors. S&P Global Sustainable1’s research indicates that climate-related physical risks could cost the world's largest companies approximately $1.2 trillion annually by the 2050s under the SSP2-4.5 scenario.

As these climate threats intensify, companies and financial institutions are seeking effective strategies to adapt, build resilience, and protect their investments.

Join us for breakfast and a roundtable discussion featuring specialist presentations from S&P Global Sustainable1, the Principles of Responsible Investment, and Invesco. Our speakers will delve into:

  • Quantifying the impact of physical climate risk on assets, companies and sovereigns

  • Real-world case studies of financial institutions incorporating physical climate risk assessments into portfolio construction and monitoring

  • Strategies for climate adaptation and resilience

Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of the potential impacts of physical risk and connect with industry peers dedicated to building climate resilience in the financial landscape.
