Financial regulation and climate risk
Climate change poses grave and increasing financial threats. We're making sure the risks are understood and addressed so we all have a healthy, stable economy.
Our economic system must account for the financial risks that climate change creates, from damages caused by more severe wildfires to more extreme heatwaves.
Our joint initiative on risk and resilience
The Initiative on Climate Risk and Resilience Law (ICRRL) is a joint effort focused on legal efforts on climate risk and resilience.
The consequences of climate change become more visible with each passing year. ICRRL drives the recognition of climate risk and resilience through legal innovation, scholarship, and practice.
