Tuesday 12 October 2021 15:30 - 17:00

How governments and societies collectively respond to the climate crisis is increasingly being analysed through the lens of intergenerational fairness. Our expert panel will assess and explore:

  • The extent to which intergenerational fairness is being considered in climate policies.
  • The lessons from those countries who are leading the way on fairness and justice in climate interventions.
  • How younger and often marginalised sections of society can be given a more prominent voice in climate politics.
  • How the actuarial profession can support a just transition that doesn’t punish future generations.

The IFoA Policy Team interviewed speaker, Alice Bordini-Staden, ahead of this meeting. Read the full interview on the IFoA Blog.

This event is part of The Road to Glasgow: IFoA’s Sustainability Thought Leadership Series which will provide a platform for prominent contributors so that our members and others can understand the perspectives of a wide range of parties interested in the climate debate.

Thank you to our sponsors
