This climate change reading list has been curated by Mike Clark on behalf of the Sustainability Board. It provides suggestions for reading, with some brief commentary to help contextualise the items suggested and help the reader decide whether the linked material is relevant to their current stage of research and learning. The guide is part of the IFoA’s commitment to support actuaries in their understanding of climate risks and opportunities, and to encourage the incorporation of these risks and opportunities into actuarial advice.
The guide is split into ten sections, covering material such as: The Paris Agreement and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures; IFoA (and other actuarial) climate-related publications; science and risk; Law, policy and regulation; climate change mitigation measures such as carbon pricing, and; climate change adaptation measures such as insurance, as well as many more.
