Webinar I Fostering decision-useful information on physical climate risks

Webinars - By : Romain HUBERT

 

Financial actors are now exposed to the impacts of climate change on the real economy, these impacts are observable and will intensify and the years to come. Financial institutions need to prepare for physical climate risks; however, they face a lack of relevant science-based information to make the decisions.

 

– How to meet financial institutions’ needs to analyze exposure to physical climate risks?

– What are the key challenges?

– How climate scientists and financial practitioners can collaborate to overcome them?

 

Speakers :

 

Sophie Dejonckheere, Senior Advisor, Climate Finance – CICERO, Center for International Climate Research

Romain Hubert, Expert, Climate Finance – I4CE, Institute for Climate Economics

Dr. Florian Gallo, Senior Advisor – Carbone 4

David Lunsford, Head of Development & Co-Founder – Carbon Delta

Dr. Nico Kröner, Product Development Manager – South Pole

 

This event is an opportunity for financial practitioners to learn science-based and pragmatic recommendations about what physical climate risk assessment should look like, what kind of scientific information can be used and why, but also pave the way forward.

    The EU’s research & innovation programme can power a cleantech revolution

    Translating innovation into world-leading industries is critical, and FP10, the EU’s next flagship R&D funding programme after Horizon Europe concludes, offers a chance to bridge this gap. The Green Deal era saw Europe embrace ‘Cleantech 2.0’, with record investments and new projects. Yet 2024 has brought a reckoning. Slowing demand in sectors like heat pumps and electric cars, Chinese industrial overcapacity, and attractive subsidies in the US and Canada have left European cleantech struggling to compete. Closures, layoffs, and stalled projects – including the high-profile collapse of Swedish battery maker Northvolt – have shaken the sector. The EU’s Net Zero Industry Act and the upcoming Clean Industrial Deal aim to support cleantech manufacturing, but catching up isn’t enough. To lead globally, the EU must focus on the next wave, including new battery chemistries and next-gen renewables – ‘Cleantech 3.0.’

Instead, confrontational negotiations produced a half-hearted agreement, and the onerous task of charting a path to bridge the resource gap before the next COP.
