WEBINAR: The Sustainability Revolution : Where sustainability and profitability both thrive | Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors

Over the past few years, the term “climate risk” has risen to the fore, taking up residency inside the world’s biggest banks and investors. Today, it is part of many companies’ toolkit as they seek to understand the impacts of climate change on their business and society.

Some are slow in their onset (such as changes in temperature and precipitation leading to droughts, or agricultural losses), while others happen more suddenly (such as tropical storms and floods). It’s time to update that definition to include sudden, dramatic swings among judges and juries.
