Environmental risk is growing steadily both in the nature of threats to the natural environment and the types of organizations that face potential for damage and claims. This is happening at a time when small, medium, and large companies confront a growing range of new risks, particularly cyber, that place great stress on premium expenditures and risk management efforts. 

This program will survey these topic areas:

• Potential exposures from substances newly recognized and long-known
• Organizations and operations recently found susceptible to environmental damage and claims
• Legal trends affecting liability for environmental damage
• The impact of climate concerns and the development of "attribution science"
• The state of the market for first- and third-party pollution and environmental insurance
