The continuing growth of adverse impacts from weather and climate on economies globally has led to increasing emphasis on associated risk management by government and private enterprise. For example, the Global Risks 2018 report produced by the World Economic Forum indicates that “extreme weather events,” “natural disasters,” and “failure of climate change mitigation and adaptation” have moved into the top five global risks for both impact and likelihood of occurrence within the next ten years.  The American Meteorological Society plays an increasingly important role in the development of robust financial weather and climate risk management sciences through research, education, and interdisciplinary communication.  This session seeks presentations both related to extreme weather event and longer-range climate change effects.  The goal is to stimulate further interdisciplinary conversation and outcomes leading to the development of financial weather and climate risk management methods and technology.
