AAE supports IFoA’s policy briefing ‘Climate Emergency – Tipping the Odds in our Favour’.

The United Kingdom’s Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) has produced a policy briefing for COP27 titled ‘Climate Emergency – Tipping the Odds in our Favour’. This briefing has been written by a collaboration of actuaries and climate scientists from the Climate Crisis Advisory Group, CCAG.

The Actuarial Association of Europe (AAE) fully supports the analysis laid out in this IFoA policy briefing that climate change is a risk management problem on a global scale, and that more climate action is urgently needed to avoid catastrophic climate impacts on society.
