The Resilience PlaybookIn December 2019, the first indication that something was not right started to emerge. By Mid-March 2020, it had become clear that the world was about to endure a pandemic. By the end of June 2020, the world was in the grips of something that had not occurred for over 100 years – a very serious and drawn-out pandemic.
Over the same period, the world has endured some of the worst bush fires in living memory, severe flooding, hurricanes and typhoons. These ongoing and severe weather events have added to growing concerns over the impacts of climate change.
These factors have placed all of us under extreme levels of stress and will change the way in which we live our lives for generations to come. The impact will affect society, our mental health, the financial markets and our approach to ethics.

During this session, our expert panellists will each provide a short presentation which will lead to a panel discussion on Climate Change, facilited by Justin Sebire.
An overall update on climate risk
Innovation and how the reinsurance industry is responding to the risk
Siddharth Parameswaran will provide an update on the financial markets. He will address the performance of the markets overall and with specific emphasis on the insurance markets. He will provide an update on the impacts of COVID on the markets and the likely impacts in the future based on vaccination rates, the Doherty and Burnett reports on exit plans and what life will look like post lockdown. He will address the key issues impacting the insurance industry including premium rates, margins, claims and broking. Finally, he will consider the impacts of environment, social and governance (ESG) criteria on companies and the investment markets.
Cris Parker will present a short keynote speech before a Q&A session on ethics. Victor Walter will moderate the Q&A session. The turmoil caused by so many different events over the past two years has brought the subject of ethics into the spotlight – the choices we make shape the world we live in. Engaging with the unknown, the difficult and the opposed all have an impact – but it is critical that ethics are embedded in all our actions and we gain the calm and strength that comes from living true to the standards we set ourselves.
