Summary
Physical risks from climate change are increasing, and their economic and financial impacts are likely to rise with time, particularly if mitigation and adaptation efforts are not accelerated. To navigate these challenges, it is critical that market participants access
robust climate modelling tools to understand their exposures and inform decisive mitigation and adaptation strategies.
During this webinar, we will focus on how S&P Global Sustaianble1 is supporting rapidly evolving regulatory requirements and risk management needs in the marketplace through development of new approaches to calculate risk, increasing our physical hazard coverage and enhancing existing ones, and improving our self-service tools.

Hall has over 60 peer-reviewed publications and was a lead author on the 2017 National Climate Assessment Report. As part of his research, Hall developed a tropical cyclone hazard model, which Horizons now uses to assess the climate evolution of hurricane hazard. He also served as consultant to the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund and several risk modeling companies, reinsurers, and ILS investors.
