Just one day after the UN concludes its international climate change conference (COP28) in the United Arab Emirates, Insurance Europe will hold an expert debate in Brussels on climate resilience and adaptation.
With global temperatures in 2023 expected to be the highest on record, the event will discuss how people, academia, businesses, and governments can work together to build resilience and adapt to the impact of climate change. It will also reflect on the outcome of COP28.
Bringing together politicians, academics, industry leaders and EU representatives, the online and in-person event on 13 December from 16:00-18:00 CET will consider how to assess and manage risk, strengthening resilience and offering protection to people. The debate aims to offer solutions on how best to protect communities most exposed to more severe and regular natural disasters caused by climate change.
