From compliance to competitive edge: unlock the real value of scenarios
Across industries, leaders face a landscape that is more volatile and interconnected than ever. From cyber-physical convergence to climate extremes, geopolitical fragmentation, and technology-enabled threats, disruption is no longer occasional, it is the baseline. As the materiality continues to add up, internal and external stakeholders are asking sharper questions: What are we missing? Where could our assumptions fail? Are we prepared for the next disruption – not just the last?
Debunking the myths in nuclear energy
Energy demand is surging, and the need for a reliable and stable baseload of power is a global imperative. Yet nuclear energy, despite its potential, remains shrouded in misconceptions. In a recent episode of The Risk Circuit, Lucy Stanbrough and Kate Fowler unpacked the myths and realities shaping nuclear’s role in the energy transition. Here are the key insights every natural resources sector leader should know.

WTW Research Network Q2 2023 Newsletter
For a hardening insurance market, with increasing premiums and decreasing capacity, the arrival of El Niño is likely to create yet more challenges. Costs associated to this natural climate pattern can soar into the trillions of dollars around the globe – in the early 1990s El Niño led over $4 trillion in global losses, with the 1997-98 El Niño costing over $5.5 trillion.
