Too Hot to Work: Financial Inclusion, Productivity and Wellbeing
Join us for an evening discussion on how rising heat risk is affecting financial inclusion, productivity, and wellbeing in a warming world.
Organised by the Financial Inclusion Forum and hosted by Clyde & Co as part of London Climate Action Week, this event will explore how extreme heat is becoming an increasingly important challenge for businesses, economies, and vulnerable communities.
Unlike floods or storms, heat stress is often overlooked despite its significant impacts. It can affect productivity, employee health, business operations, insurance costs, and financial resilience. For lower-income and financially excluded communities, periods of extreme heat can also contribute to income loss, financial stress, and greater vulnerability.
Bringing together speakers from law, finance, insurance, development, engineering, and health, the discussion will explore how organisations can respond to rising heat risk and support resilience in a changing climate.
What to Expect:
- Discussion on how extreme heat affects businesses, communities, and financial resilience
- Perspectives from experts across law, finance, insurance, development, engineering, and health
- Two panel discussions examining heat risk and practical responses
- Networking opportunity following the event
Why Attend:
- Learn why heat is becoming an important financial inclusion and resilience issue
- Hear from organisations working on climate risk, insurance, and community resilience
- Connect with professionals across finance, policy, development, and social impact
