Hot Spots: Subnational Regions Outside The U.S. Face Rising Physical Climate Risks

Please join S&P Global Ratings’ analysts for a live webinar presenting our research findings on climate hazard exposures for non-U.S. Local and Regional Governments (LRGs), how exposures could trend and how these risks are embedded in our analysis, as well as examples of how LRGs are adapting.

Key discussion points:

• The materiality of physical climate risks to LRGs
• Projected changes in exposure of non-U.S. LRGs to physical climate risks, including compounding events
• Our views on how worsening climate hazards in many regions may impact LRG’s credit quality, and the adaptation and resilience measures that we observe amongst LRGs

Speakers: 
Paul Munday, Global Adaptation And Resilience Lead, Sustainability Research
Alejandro Rodriquez Anglada, Director, Sovereigns and International Public Finance Ratings
Bhavini Patel, Director, Sovereigns and International Public Finance Ratings

Moderator: 
Felix Ejgel, Sector Lead and Managing Director--Sovereigns and International Public Finance Ratings

These webinars are a part of our “Sustainability Focus” webinar series. In this session, we will discuss key findings from the abovementioned research.
