Details	:	Although the latest statement on Transition away from Fossil Fuel from COP28 would continuously to drive reduction greenhouse gases over the coming decades, the chance of limiting global warming to 1.5C (according to the 2023 UN Emission Gap Report published before COP28) is only 14%. Various scenarios leave open a large possibility that global warming would exceed 2C and even beyond, implying that our facilities and operation systems for buildings and infrastructure need to identify climate risks in more detail, and to examine / re-examine possible climate scenarios to facilitate better adaptation to the negative consequences of global warming. Various stock exchange markets from Tokyo, Singapore to Hong Kong has already proposed to mandate companies to make climate-related disclosure in their ESG reports following international framework such as TCFD and ISSB, such as to disclose the amount and percentage of assets vulnerable to transition and physical risks, as well as opportunities. These requirements have posed a challenge to the industry. This Technical Seminar will share the latest insights on how companies can assess and manage physical climate risk and transition risk, to reduce carbon and enhance resilience across their portfolios and particular sites. Carbon assessment and climate hazard modelling will be shared through cases and examples.
