Emerging Risk Webinar Series 2025: Navigating the unknown

Overview

Clyde & Co is expanding its highly successful Emerging Risk programme for insurers and bringing you a new series for 2025.

In our rapidly evolving world, new risks are constantly emerging. They are, by definition, not well understood and often evolve from a complex relationship between four main drivers: geopolitics, law and regulation, science and technology, and the environment. Emerging Risks tend to operate on a global level; some on such a scale that they influence almost every aspect of life, in almost every country.

An introduction to our 2025 topics is provided below. Each topic will be explored by various speakers on an hour-long webinar, followed by a podcast further examining each risk. All sessions will be hosted and moderated by Neil Beresford, Partner in our London office.

Our next webinar, taking place on Friday 25 April at 2pm, will focus on Battery Technology. The speakers will look at breakthroughs in battery technology and the associated risks for insurers, from solid-state innovations to geopolitical challenges.
