The International Actuarial Association (IAA) has published a paper on decarbonisation.
Providing a briefing for actuaries across the Globe, the paper covers topics including; the main types and sources of greenhouse gas emissions; relevant international agreements; commitments made; the policies adopted; likely future developments; and, observations on potential actuarial implications.
The paper highlights that while decarbonisation will increasingly affect every economy and will transform how and what goods are produced and services are provided, the timing and progress of change is highly uncertain.
