A great new paper out from the #IFoA talking about planetary solvency - if the planet was an insurance company it would be going insolvent and the implications for our lives. Basic message: better to be approximately right than precisely wrong

#ClimateCrisis #actuaries

Climate risks are complex, interconnected, and could threaten the basis of our society and economy. Latest report from #IFoA - joint work from actuaries and climate scientists.

Climate Scorpion – the sting is in the tail https://actuaries.org.uk/news-and-media-releases/news-articles/2024/mar/14-mar-24-climate-scorpion-the-sting-is-in-the-tail/ .

We can't rely on the best case, or even on the best estimate of what will happen. We need to have a best guess about the worst-case and make policy on that basis.

It's a fantastic report, and a must-read.

#climateEmergency #uncertainty #actuaries

#Actuaries have issued a call for more #precise #climate #risk #assessments, highlighting the concept of the “🔹risk of ruin🔹,” which refers to a critical juncture beyond which global society might be unable to adapt to the ramifications of climate change.

A collaboration between the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries ( #IFoA ) and the University of Exeter has resulted in a report titled
💥“Climate Scorpion: the sting is in the tail,” 💥which makes a case for employing risk management strategies traditionally used in financial services to evaluate and convey the risks associated with climate change.

The report advocates for the consideration of “worst-case” scenarios regarding climate change. It also issued a warning that the pace of global warming could be #accelerating, with the likelihood it could surpass the 1.5°C target becoming increasingly plausible.
This could lead to several tipping points, including the #collapse of the #Greenland #ice #sheets, which could have long-lasting consequences.
Unexpected sensitivity to climate change is also a concern, as what is often described as a “#tail-#risk” might have a higher probability of resulting in significant temperature increases.
Methodologies are also now suggesting that a doubling of #greenhouse #gas concentrations could lead to #temperature rises of 7°C or more.

Possibly time for an #introduction. I have many interests (and many experiences) but currently focus primarily on the #climateCrisis. I'm especially keen to get the financial services sector to serve society and play its part. I have a background in #insurance as an #actuary and am heavily involved in the #sustainability work at the #IFoA (the UK professional body). I'm also involved with the built environment through the #Ecology Building Society and #Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction
