| | Reimagining Insurance: A Climate-Resilient Future
February 25, 2025, 12pm ET
Online
As climate change intensifies, insurance markets face mounting pressures from rising premiums, market withdrawals, and financial stability concerns. These challenges demand a fundamental reimagining of how insurance can remain viable and accessible while
building climate resilience at the sector, community, and policyholder levels. From innovative pricing models and parametric insurance solutions to mitigation incentives and mandatory risk disclosure, there are actionable pathways for insurers, regulators, and stakeholders to transform the industry. Join a distinguished group of individuals for a detailed exploration of how insurers, regulators, and other stakeholders can collaborate to create a more sustainable insurance system. | | | | | | | | Navigating Attacks on Responsible
Investment: How Higher Ed Can Inform Public Policy
February 27, 2025, 2pm ET

In an era of increasing misinformation and political pressure to roll back the long-standing rights of businesses and investors to consider all material financial risks, academics play a key role in providing critical research, analysis, and thought leadership to inform policy and public opinion.
Join Tensie Whelan, Director, NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business; Witold Henisz, Vice Dean and Faculty Director, The Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania; and Ceres policy experts, Andrew Collier and Mel Mackin for an in-depth analysis of current trends, potential legislative actions, and deep dive into ways to support investors and businesses in protecting their long-standing rights to invest and
operate responsibly. | | | |

March 24, 2025, 10am ET
Online
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a water-intensive technology, yet it also holds a key to helping technology companies curb
their dependence on increasingly scarce water resources. This is exemplified by data center companies that are supporting the AI boom while employing the technology to help significantly reduce their water use in the process. This webinar will focus on how AI is helping these companies promote water circularity in their operations, and the case for using these strategies and others to reduce water risk in their business, as well as for their high-tech company clients and investors. | | | |
