A 2019 survey of CIA members on climate change risks shows that less than one-third of respondents or their companies account for this emerging risk. However, a large percentage of respondents agree that guidance and education about the materiality of climate change risks may help with this type of risk disclosure.
ACIA Christine Bisson-Roberge discusses the results of the recent survey of CIA members on climate change risks, conducted by the Climate Change and Sustainability Committee. Key findings include a low incidence of accounting for climate change risk among those surveyed, and the desire for guidance and more education about the materiality of this emerging risk.
