Episode 20: A holistic way of considering transition and climate risk: Interview with Peter Carter

About this episode

Peter Carter discusses a holistic approach to climate risk and business resilience.

Peter Carter discusses how businesses should be thinking about, and approaching, climate risk and building resilience into their business models. He explains the necessity of an holistic approach, considering not only the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, but also approaching climate risks as a dynamic system to assess where the risks lie, such as to physical assets and supply chains, and how those risks should be financed. The approach also allows businesses to seize opportunities presented by climate risk. He uses incredibly helpful sector-specific examples and explains how WTW could assist firms. He also considers the role of regulations in managing those risks.
