Last night the Asset Management Council Sydney Chapter hosted a fantastic event featuring Henry Elderfield sharing his insights on how asset intensive organisations need to be planning for climate change now. His simple but effective message of ‘your assets were designed for climate A and we’re already in climate B’ really resonated!
(more…)Engineers Australia is an accredited Observer of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA), the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This means EA can attend UN conferences like Conference of the Parties (COP), meetings and contribute to UN policy submissions, etc.
(more…)Globally, we are seeing a rise in frequency and impact of natural catastrophes that are being exacerbated by a changing climate. Our climate has already changed, it is physically bigger, it holds more energy and when that energy is released it creates more disruption than our operations and assets are often designed for. Asset managers must adopt approaches to managing portfolio physical risk that better reflects the uncertainty of our operating environments.
This presentation will discuss:

Climate change is real and with the recent IPCC report suggests that the earth is warming. To mitigate the effect, large number of organisations have committed to climate action to reduce their impact on the environment. One of the initiatives, ESG is at the forefront.
