Description: The SOA Research Institute seeks researchers and essayists to explore the multifaceted impacts of climate risk on retirement. The desired deliverable is a resource that catalogues major related issues while providing current considerations and potential future dynamics. The intended audience for this effort is actuaries and other retirement professionals.

Description: Explore an essay collection from the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute that focuses on how climate change may impact retirement security.

Description: The SOA Research Institute Mortality & Longevity Strategic Research Program and the Catastrophe & Climate Strategic Research Program Steering Committees [The Committees] are seeking researchers to investigate the impact of outdoor air quality and pollution on morbidity and mortality, with a focus on climate change including the impacts of wildfires focusing on regions where air quality has deteriorated significantly in recent history.

Description: Fifty-three percent of Americans responding to a survey conducted by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute reported that extreme weather events – including hurricanes, tornadoes, heatwaves, wildfires and flooding – have adversely affected their health.

Description: The strategic plan of the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute includes several important research goals. One goal is to support emerging issues and topics in established practice areas and encourage the development of research projects that have a strong impact on the actuarial profession. The primary purpose is to select and fund high-quality research projects that directly educate members on applicable topics. Additionally, the SOA Research Institute desires to develop additional intellectual capital that serves the interest of the public and the profession’s stakeholders. The Research Executive Committee (REC) of the SOA Research Institute oversees the funding of the Emerging Issues Pool. This key source of research funding is used to sponsor projects that are beneficial to the entire profession, across practice area boundaries that may require funding levels beyond the normal annual funding budgets of research committees and sections. The REC is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to fulfill the strategic goals of the organization through the use of this pool for funding new projects.

Description: Have you been impacted by a wildfire? A flood, maybe? If so, you know that climate change may impact on our health, our property, and, sometimes, our very lives. But do you know how it impacts your day-to-work? In this webinar, the speaker describes key climate risks actuaries need to be aware of and discusses available SOA research on climate change.

Description: Join us for an analysis of the impact of climate change on financial institution solvency, profitability, and how other key performance metrics are, or likely will be, required by financial regulators in most major economies in the very near future. Regulators are signaling that such impacts should be assessed through the use of scenario analysis, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Explore an overview of the emerging regulatory landscape for insurers as it relates to the disclosure of climate risk. After that, check out the mechanics and current best practices that actuaries and risk modelers may use in performing qualitative and quantitative climate risk scenario analyses, covering both physical and transition risks.

Description: There is value in a framework that allows a smooth transition from a qualitative assessment to a quantitative analysis as entities mature in their understanding of climate risk. In this webcast, a case study on climate change's impact on home prices, a topic the SOA published research on, will be discussed along with other perspectives. The goal of this webcast will be for attendees to takeaway knowledge and tools to begin to move toward quantitative assessments in their own fields of practice.
