One big thing: Aon elevated climate risk innovation at its 4^th annual Risk and Resilience Summit during New York Climate Week. The summit brought together global leaders, policymakers and innovators to explore how insurance capital unlocks bold action in advancing climate solutions.

• Lori Goltermann, CEO North America and global regions at Aon, participated in a panel discussion on how leaders are navigating rising insurance costs, regulatory pressures and policy shifts – while positioning their organizations for greater resilience.
   
  • The conversation also featured Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, and Rohit T. Aggarwala, commissioner for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. Justin Worland, senior climate correspondent at TIME magazine, moderated the session.
     
• Liz Henderson, global head of climate risk advisory at Aon, spoke on how organizations must recognize the urgency of climate risk, leverage data tools to stress-test portfolios and accelerate the transition toward measurable, results-driven climate strategies.
   
  • Henderson joined Catherine Ansell, executive director for climate, nature and social at JPMorgan, in a conversation moderated by Greg Gershuny, vice president and executive director of the Aspen Institute Energy and Environment Program.
     
• Why it matters: With climate-related insured losses reaching historic levels and global regulatory frameworks evolving rapidly, Aon is leading with data, technology and advisory expertise to help clients navigate volatility and build long-term resilience.
