Climate Risk in Motion with Pekka Pirainen
As climate impacts intensify, the way we measure and respond to risk is rapidly changing. Advances in physical risk analytics, coupled with the urgent need for adaptation, are reshaping decision-making for governments, investors, and businesses, especially in emerging markets where resilience is critical.
Join Pekka Pirainen, Head of Product at Climate Risk Services, for an inside look at
- How the physical risk analytics space is evolving
- How climate adaptation is becoming a core issue
- How different responses to climate risk (physical and transition) are changing across the world.
Drawing on his experience in capital markets, climate data innovation, and international climate policy, from developing TCFD-aligned tools to advising asset managers and development banks, Pekka will share actionable insights for integrating climate risk into strategy, investment, and operations.
Whether you’re in finance, policy, or climate innovation, this session will help you navigate a world where climate risk is no longer a side issue....it’s central to the future of markets and communities alike.
