The only constant is change: opportunities and challenges for actuaries in a changing world.

ABSTRACT

In a world threatened by climate warming and where Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues are gaining increasing prominence, actuaries and other finance professionals need to adapt and support the transition to a more sustainable economy. This article examines how they can contribute to protect financial stability through forward-looking risk management, how they can help the insurance sector play an important role to support climate and environmental sustainability, and how climate protection gaps should be monitored and addressed.
