Stay Ahead of the Economic Impacts of Climate Change
New Scenarios for U.S. Regional Economies
Please Note: Registration will close 24 hours prior to the start of the live event.
The long-term economic impacts of climate change have been top of mind for much of the world in recent years, and regulators in the U.S. are taking notice. To better prepare banks and other financial stakeholders to manage these risks, Moody’s Analytics has now incorporated climate change into its state and metro area economic forecasts and will soon publish first-of-its-kind regional climate change scenarios that cover hundreds of variables across the U.S.
This webinar will discuss the importance of accounting for climate change in long-term projections, converting key risk factors into regional forecasts, and critical insights on how climate change can affect various parts of the U.S.
