Roundtable Discussion on Climate Reporting, Regulation, and Government Intervention

Climate risk reporting has become increasingly critical for businesses and investors as the impacts of climate change become more evident and costly. Governments worldwide are attaching legal ramifications to reporting requirements, making it imperative for organizations to stay updated with the latest developments. This roundtable discussion aims to explore the latest government regulations that require or encourage companies to disclose to climate-related risks and opportunities and the challenges and benefits to navigating this new framework.

The session will focus on the impacts of key regulatory frameworks, including potential new SEC rule, the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) reporting rule, and emerging requirements from other regions. It will bring together viewpoints from the financial, insurance, and climate risk consulting spaces. By bringing together experts, practitioners, and stakeholders, this session aims to foster knowledge-sharing and facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory landscape surrounding climate risk reporting.

The insights gained from this roundtable discussion will enable participants to navigate the complex reporting landscape while effectively communicating climate-related risks and opportunities. It will also serve as an introduction for many in the audience to the field of climate risk management in general, providing an opportunity for students and early career professionals to learn about this growing field.

Roundtable participants include Steve Bochanski – Lead Climate Risk Partner at PwC, Alison Heslin – Executive Director, Climate Risk at JPMorgan Chase, and Joshua Hacker, co-founder and chief science officer of Jupiter Intelligence
