Climate change is creating a future characterised by increasing uncertainty and non-stationarity, challenging long-held assumptions about environmental, financial, and operational risk. As the impacts of climate change become more evident, contaminated land and groundwater practitioners will need to consider how changing physical conditions and financial pressures may influence remediation projects, risk management approaches, and long-term decision-making.

This webinar will explore the relationship between climate change, financial risk, and contaminated land remediation. It will examine how climate-related financial impacts are emerging, the implications for remediation business models, and how physical climate hazards such as extreme heat, flooding, and inundation could affect project planning and delivery.

In this webinar, our speakers will explore:

• The concept of climate-related financial risk and how it is reshaping decision-making.
• The implications of a non-stationary climate for contaminated land and groundwater management.
• How climate-related financial impacts could influence remediation business models.
• The potential effects of extreme heat, flooding, and inundation on remediation projects.
• Emerging challenges for project planning, risk management, and site operations.
• Strategies for managing uncertainty across multiple future climate scenarios.
• The role of leadership in guiding organisations through a changing risk landscape.

The presentation will also consider how climate change may alter assumptions that have traditionally underpinned contaminated land assessment and remediation, creating new challenges for practitioners, regulators, and asset owners.

This webinar will be particularly valuable for contaminated land consultants, regulators, asset owners, environmental managers, and professionals involved in remediation planning and delivery. A live Q&A will follow, and the session will be recorded.
