AI for Climate: Physical climate risk, from regulation to resilience

As climate impacts intensify, understanding physical climate risk - the direct effects of physical hazards on assets, infrastructure and operations - has become increasingly important for organisations to understand and respond to.

You are invited to a live webinar exploring current approaches to assessing physical climate risk, which has become essential for meeting regulatory expectations and building long-term business resilience.

This webinar continues the conversation from earlier CSIRO AI for Climate  events and brings together an industry × research panel to share perspectives on current practices, emerging challenges, and future directions in physical climate risk assessment.

Geared towards individuals and organisations engaged in physical climate risk assessment, particularly asset owners and asset managers, we conclude with an interactive audience Q&A.
