In this Global Insight episode of the On Aon podcast, Joe Peiser is joined by Liz Henderson to discuss why climate resilience has become a defining leadership priority. As expectations from investors, insurers, regulators and stakeholders continue to evolve, organizations are increasingly being asked to demonstrate how they can withstand disruption and sustain growth.
Ahead of New York Climate Week, Peiser and Henderson explore how climate risk is shaping access to capital, influencing insurability and informing strategic business decisions. The conversation focuses on how leaders can use data, analytics and risk capital to make more confident decisions, strengthen resilience and position their organizations to stay ahead.
Key Takeaways:
