Call for sustainability and climate change volunteers

Open-access content Wednesday 4th November 2020

Would you like to get involved in sustainability and climate issues? Do you want to gain experience in a rapidly expanding area of expertise that is critical to a sustainable future?

Call for sustainability and climate change volunteers

The social, business and financial worlds are increasingly being affected by sustainability risks, the increased likelihood of significant environmental and societal changes, and the measures taken by governments to try to deal with them. As long-term risk managers, such developments are of crucial interest to actuaries at all stages of their career.  

Find out how you can get involved by volunteering to be part of the IFoA Sustainability Volunteer Group. Full details can be found at bit.ly/2Tb0nJW

“This is a new way of nimble working for the IFoA, and one which I hope will resonate with members,” said Nick Spencer, chair of the IFoA Sustainability Board.
