The role of risk
Real-time forward-looking measurement of climate change and nature loss to address transitional and physical risk
What are the issues and opportunities for risk management working with alternative data to inform credit decisions? How can these decisions be quantified against physical and transition risk?
This co-creation workshop will detail how alternative data from sources such as satellites and sensors can augment traditional risk systems, with real-time forward looking data to provide insights to the future of sustainable financing.
$47 trillion of capital has been pledged to sustainable finance and supporting outcomes aligned to sustainability and impact goals, such as the UN SDGs.
This huge volume of capital is only trickling from behind a dam created by uncertainty from lack of data, taxonomies, schemas, reporting and products, robust enough to satisfy the risk register of financial institutions. The result is a lack of confidence about viable options for investing in sustainable initiatives.
Finextra Research and ResponsibleRisk will be running a thought-provoking series of editorial, research and experiential events to bring banking and technology ecosystems together and to collaborate on enabling this wave of change.

• With your input expert facilitators from the advisory board and speakers will take the use case from day one to drill down on the challenges and opportunities of using satellite/sensor data to make investment risk decisions, looking at the ability of risk systems, skills and plot the steps to resolution.
