Document description

In the opening sections of the review we examine the themes of climate change and resource depletion and consider the impacts these issues may have for actuaries.  Subsequently we review 21 papers on a range of topics and have organised them into six subject areas: Concepts; Current Status of Resources; Current Status of Climate Science; Economic Responses; Institutional Investment Issues; and Risk Management and Uncertainty. Each review provides a summary of the paper, a critique and then some consideration of the actuarial implications and the importance of the paper.
