Our regular listeners will know that we usually to take a break from the podcast in August. But every once in a while, in this fast-moving field of climate and sustainability, it\u2019s helpful to pause and reflect on where we\u2019ve been, what we\u2019ve learned, and how far we\u2019ve come. That\u2019s why we\u2019re re-releasing this episode from the archives, and revisiting a conversation that\u2019s just as relevant today - if not more so - than when it first aired in late 2021. This conversation about the tail risks from climate change left a huge impression on us at the GARP Risk Institute. The framing of climate risk as non-linear, deeply complex, and capable of amplifying other risks from food insecurity to political instability, was enormously influential on the direction of this podcast. Today, where the window for an orderly transition is rapidly narrowing, it\u2019s all the more important that we remember the extent of the risks posed by climate change. This episode explores: Why the risks associated with even 2.0\u25e6C warming are greater than you might think; How climate risks are transmitted through, and amplified by, our interconnected economy; and How risk professionals can best prepare for the complex and unpredictable risks of climate change.
