Event Information

Climate Risks: Topping the Global Risk Agenda
For the first time in history, the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2020 ranked environmental crises as the top fi ve global risks, with climate change high on the risk agenda. The annual average economic losses from climate-related disasters are in the hundreds of billions of dollars, in addition to the millions killed and billions injured. Left unchecked, we can expect greater catastrophic consequences beyond today’s heatwaves, wildfires, melting sea ice and glaciers, cyclones, floods and drought.
The heaviest contributors to climate change are businesses—in particular the energy and fossil fuel, transport and utilities sectors—hence, business models and impacts must change to achieve a low-carbon economy. As business leaders and decision-makers, accountants must take the lead in climate change governance and decarbonisation to defend their organisations against climate risks. Most significantly, accountants possess the skillsets to lead in the capture, measurement, reporting and assurance of climate and carbon emissions information needed to formulate and implement effective strategies for climate action.
Join us in our upcoming Climate Change Conference 2020 to find out how accountants can change the course of climate change in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 13 Climate Action to benefit people, planet and profit.
