Description: This session will highlight the growing significance of climate risk for insurance companies, emphasizing how to prepare for regulatory requirements as well as the impacts on financial stability and operational resilience within the industry. Attendees will gain insights specifically addressing climate risk within insurance operations including enhancing governance structures, ensuring regulatory compliance, identifying and monitoring metrics and key risk indicators, and conducting scenario analyses. Through real-world case studies and perspectives from both life and P&C practitioners, participants will leave equipped with practical strategies to navigate the complexities of climate risk management, foster transparency and accountability, and effectively address the urgent challenges posed by climate risk within their organizations. Learning Objectives: - Understand the evolving landscape of climate risk and regulatory requirements for climate risk disclosure. - Gain insights into effective approaches and current best practices that actuaries and risk modelers may use in performing qualitative and quantitative climate risk scenario analyses. - Learn practical strategies for integrating climate risk considerations into insurance operations.

Description: At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be equipped to apply relative risk curves in their actuarial work, including the ability to examine dose-response relationships, apply population attributable fractions (PAFs), and develop customized risk models for cause-specific mortality and morbidity outcomes based on individual-level exposures to selected risk factors. These skills are becoming increasingly important as actuaries adopt novel applications of big data and dynamic health information to refine risk assessments and keep pace with global health trends.

Description: "Our Climate Risk Modeling for Life actuaries session will discuss: - The history and future of climate regulations - Climate risk modeling 101 - intersection of short term and long term climate modeling - The role of the actuary in climate risk modeling - The impact actuaries can have globally"

Description: Recent and potential near future extreme experiences are leading us to a new normal rather than back to the prior environment. Learn more about several examples of past Regime Changes along with a detailed discussion of how recent disruptions lead toward a persistent change in the business, social and political environment. Come develop an understanding of these drivers of change as well as the likely impacts on the Financial Services industry.

Description: This report provides statistical summaries of global warming trends using ERA5 data. The report compares temperature data from different time periods and highlights warming trends across air and sea-surface temperatures.

Description: How is extreme weather impacting you? If you live in California, you may have been impacted by the atmospheric rivers unleashing record-breaking rain and snow last winter. If you live in Canada or near Canada, you may have been impacted by the wildfires raging last spring. NASA has declared that the summer of 2023 was the hottest on record. Americans are noticing these changes. In a survey conducted by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute, the majority of Americans have reported that extreme weather events-including hurricanes, tornadoes, heatwaves, wildfires, and flooding-have had negative impacts on their health (53%), property (51%), communities (58%) and feelings of general safety (65%). In this session, the presenters will discuss the science behind climate change and the associated risk. At the end of this session, participants will be able to: - Define key terms relating to climate change - Describe the causes of climate change - Describe the impact of climate change our ecosystem, property, and population health. - Describe the impact of climate change on the day-to-day work of actuaries

Description: Attend this webcast to learn more on how to navigate managing ESG principles in the new normal of a post-COVID world. Enhance your ESG insights in a post-pandemic landscape.

Description: The topics of ESG (Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance) and sustainability are an increasing area of focus for insurance companies, and thus actuaries. This webcast provides a primer on these topics along with considerations for US valuation actuaries and their evolution in European insurance markets.
