Webinar: Climate Change – Identifying the Risks

In the final webinar in our Climate Change series, we looked at the growing importance of climate change risk assessment in the business context. This isn't just about mandatory reporting, but how that data can be used, and how climate change risks should be addressed in corporate and property transactions.

Speakers from Trowers & Hamlins, CBRE and the Met Office discussed the general approach to assessing climate risk, the use of data to help manage transition risks, and how property and corporate due diligence is evolving to consider climate change risks and associated valuation issues. Key topics covered included:
