- **Event Description**: BSFG meeting with environmental, social and governance actuary Oliver BettisAbout this EventWe are very excited to welcome Oliver Bettis as our guest for April.Oliver is an environmental, social and governance actuary at a multinational insurance group and an Institute and Faculty of Actuaries Council member.Oliver has been a leading actuary in the field of sustainability for many years. He is one of the authors of a series of publications by the actuarial profession in collaboration with the University of Exeter in recent years.These are the three most recent papers he has been involved in:Climate Scorpion shows how we need to develop a best guess about the worst-case scenarios and make policy on that basis, given our lack of knowledge about extreme climate risk and tipping points.Planetary Solvency - finding our balance with nature sets out an approach to civilisational risk management which attempts to address the fact that the severity and frequency of extreme events are unprecedented and beyond current model projections.Parasol Lost focuses on the cooling effect of aerosols: a side-effect of pollution from fossil fuel burning. Without aerosol cooling the global temperature would be around 0.5°C higher than the 1.4°C increase above pre-industrial temperature that we have today. It is critically important to recognise that, as air pollution is cleaned up, this may ironically lead to a short-term increase in warming through the loss of aerosol cooling. The question must be asked, can we afford to lose this cooling and if not, should this be replaced by working with nature, using technology or both?You can learn more on Oliver and his work at oliverbettis.com.NB This event will be held in-person at the Friends of the Earth Warehouse, Birmingham and simultaneously on Zoom, with online access opening from around 7.45 for an 8 pm start.Non-member ticket prices:£8 in-person attendance / £6 Zoom attendanceBSFG member ticket prices:£4 in-person attendance / free Zoom attendanceIf you are a subscribed BSFG member, online entry is free and you do not need to buy an online ticket.
