The AXA Future Risks Report 2023 highlighted that climate change is still the number one concern for experts around the world. And with the rise of the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) directive it’s never been a better time to shine the spotlight on climate change.
AXA will be introducing the AXA Climate School for you and your clients – a free online learning experience explaining climate change, and actions that can be taken now to reduce its impact.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, delegates will be able to:
- Describe the roles and responsibilities of MGAs, insurers and risk managers in the current landscape
- Explain the specific impact of climate change on the risk management and insurance sector
- Outline moving from the emergency to act, to the opportunity to act
- Explain how AXA Climate School can enable understanding and learning of climate action
