Following on from our event in March 2024, The CGFI Leeds Innovation Hub, in collaboration with the Lighthill Risk Network, Oasis LMF, Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience, and Maximum Information, are hosting an online update event.
In March 2024, we convened the insurance sector and broader ecosystem to discuss four of the most significant challenges they will face in the coming years. The goal of this initial event was to begin aligning climate science with industry needs, ensuring that the research agenda delivers impactful and high-quality science where it is most needed. UK CGFI Leeds has been tracking progress and is now ready, together with the broader research community, to provide an update on the advancements made on the top four challenges.
Additionally, this event will act as a vital platform for linking the broader research community with industry, highlighting other significant research initiatives. We will invite the wider research community to share the latest updates on cutting-edge climate science and its integration into their research agendas with the aim of having industry impact.
