Recording date - 26 March 2026

Quantifying the financial impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities helps boards understand what climate change means for enterprise value, investment decisions and long-term resilience. It moves climate from a narrative risk to a set of financial insights that can inform strategy, capital allocation and risk oversight.
In this Chapter Zero NZ webinar, Alec Tang (KPMG), Scott Lewis (NZ Actuaries Society) and director Hannah Hamling explored what financial quantification involves, why it is increasingly important for boards, and how directors can use these insights in practice. 

The session covered:

    • What boards need to understand about quantifying climate-related financial impacts.
    • How financial insights can inform strategy, risk management and capital decisions.
    • Practical considerations, including uncertainty, assumptions and materiality.
    • How boards can use quantified information to support resilience and long-term value.
