IFoA calls for Government to prioritise future generations

The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) believes a long-term view is essential to meet the needs of UK society, without placing an unfair and unmanageable burden on younger, and future generations. IFoA President Tan Suee Chieh said“The IFoA recognises climate change as one of the greatest risks facing our world today. As well as highly disruptive physical changes, there are significant implications for the entire financial system. We are supportive of the UK Government’s plans to set the world’s most ambitious climate change target into law to reduce emissions by 78 per cent by 2035 compared to 1990 levels – and urge the Government to ensure plans to enshrine the new targets in law are a priority… We call on the Government to recognise the significance of a trend that long precedes its time in office: the transfer of risks from institutions to individuals as set out in our recent report, The Great Risk Transfer.”
