Climate change

We have pioneered the use of actuarial and risk management tools to assess the impact of climate change and the policy options available to governments to adapt to the impacts.

We have applied actuarial valuation techniques to assess the damage caused by sea level rises in the Caribbean, the results of which were presented at the COP 16 UNFCCC conference in Cancun, we have assessed the application of innovative risk management tools to adapt to climate change for the UNFCCC, DFID and the UK's Government Office for Science and we have investigated the long-term impact of cliamte change on the UK financial sector for the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills.
