Summit 2026 - Climate risk as financial risk: costs, liabilities and litigation

Day 3: Thursday 26th March

Time: 17:30 GMT | 18:30 CET | 10:30 PT | 13:30 ET | 02:30 JST (27 March)

Virtual event

Environmental and climate risks are becoming legal and financial liabilities worldwide, affecting the economy and therefore the livelihoods that depend on it. 

This panel explores how failures to manage environmental risk are translating into litigation exposure, higher insurance costs, and reduced access to capital - affecting companies, investors, and fiduciaries across jurisdictions.

Drawing on recent cases and emerging legal trends from around the world, speakers will examine how courts and markets are responding when environmental risk is ignored and the monetary consequences of doing so.

The discussion focuses on what this shift means in practice and why environmental risk is now inseparable from financial risk in the global economy.
