Until recently it would have seemed far-fetched that a climate scientist would be the opening keynote speaker at a conference of central banks and financial sector regulators. But earlier this year Dr. Emily Shuckburgh of the British Antarctic Survey found herself doing exactly that at a landmark event in Holland. Equally, eyebrows would have risen at the idea of a major law firm publishing a report on climate change, or that the UK association of actuaries might issue a professional ‘risk alert’ on climate change to its members. These, as well as other developments, inspired DWS – the new name of Deutsche Asset Management – to bring together experts from the UK’s scientific, legal, actuarial, accounting, and investment consultant communities to produce this new paper.
