We can be optimistic in Canada about the growth of climate finance, says Andy Chisholm (RBC, expert panel) due to the top notch banks, pensions and insurers in our market.

Katie Taylor, Chair of @RBC said that 30% of a boards time should be strategy, 30% talent, and 30% everything else at the #GRISummit.The risk management audience asked if risk was in the ‘other’ bucket - but she said no - if it’s not integrated into strategy we’ve got a problem.

Neil Beaumont, CFRO at @cppib says climate risk is assessed at both individual securities selection, and at portfolio selection. Transition and physical risks are priced in, but secondary and tertiary risks are not #GRISummit

[Alyson Slater @alysons_world]

Daniel Moore, CRO @scotiabank says he sees 3 risks with climate - transition (away from carbon based economy), physical (damages from climate related events), and opportunity (future energy needs) #GRISummit

[Alyson Slater @alysons_world]

@globalriskfs board chair Mark Hughes moderates CRO panel at #GRIsummit - most risks that have added in complexity are non financial.

Finance “gets” climate risks but access to data and knowing what to do with it remain a challenge says Blair Feltmate at #GRISummit @globalriskfs

We used to access the internet through the telephone, then there was a technology inversion - now we get the telephone through the internet. This is what digitalization is doing to financial services - says @eprefon at #GRISummit @globalriskfs

Conditions for investing have been optimal for the past few decades of hyper globalization - but key elements of this are falling away. Jonathan Hausman, OTTP #GRISummit @globalriskfs
