Keynote
Climate, weather and the economy
Reinier explores the close relationship between meteorology and economics, showing how weather and climate influence infrastructure, operations, risk and decision-making.
Weather drives more of our economy than we think: from energy prices and harvests to insurance claims, logistics and consumer behaviour. Reinier van den Berg worked in commercial weather services for decades and knows better than anyone how valuable a good forecast is for business.
In this talk he shows how weather and climate risks affect operations and decision-making, and how organisations can assess those risks better – and even benefit from them.
Who is it for?
Financial institutions, insurers, logistics, retail, agriculture and risk managers.
