Head of Sales Enablement

Climate Change: A Growing Challenge

Climate change is driving profound uncertainty across all levels of society. Increased climate volatility is reducing the security of land-based assets and creating complex, multi-layered risks that threaten the stability of enterprises, societies, and governments.

A pioneering initiative has emerged from the forefront of scientific innovation, leveraging cutting-edge technology to address the risks posed by climate-driven challenges. With access to one of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers, this initiative is dedicated to mitigating risks on both short-term and long-term scales-from real-time and annual forecasts to century-spanning projections. By combining advanced risk modeling with the ability to transfer these risks to capital markets via catastrophe bonds, the initiative contributes to enhanced climate resilience, mitigation, and equity.
