PANEL SESSION: IMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate Change is a serious threat facing our society. The overwhelming scientific consensus is that man-made emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) of which carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most prolific, are contributing to increases in global temperatures and leading to climate change.
The principal sources of emissions are industry (power, cement, aluminium, steel etc.) and transport. Power generation from burning coal is the most intensive in releasing CO2. The oil and gas industry is a significant contributor as well with emissions coming from production, LNG and refining operations.
Based on the recently released Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, global temperatures have risen on the average by about 0.7 degree Celsius and if emissions continue unchecked, temperatures are expected to rise by between 1.8 – 4 degree Celsius by 2100. This will lead to several consequences including water shortages, increasing frequency and severity of storms and sever loss of bio diversity. Increasing storms and flooding in coastal areas can have significant impacts on offshore upstream, coastal midstream and downstream operations.
A panel has been assembled with specific expertise in weather patterns, ensuing met ocean impacts and critical enablers from the insurance and certification industries. The panel members will discuss the impact our industry is likely to face and through an interactive question and answer session, discuss how we may prepare for such changes.
