Climate change is affecting how risks are underwritten, priced, managed and reported globally, whether for general insurance, life insurance, pensions, other financial institutions, and social security.  

This is one of the key messages in a paper ‘Climate Change Matters’ published by the Society of Actuaries in Ireland on Monday Oct 24th.

We are delighted to announce that Colm Fagan, a Past President of the Society of Actuaries in Ireland, is a co-winner of the inaugural Frank Redington Prizes, awarded by the UK Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA). 

Frank Redington (1906 – 1984) is widely recognised as a great thinker who brought forward prolific new ideas, and one of the most influential actuaries of all time. 

The president Declan Lavelle launched the new term at his SAI presidential address in the Alex Hotel on the 21st of September 2022. You can read his presidential speech here https://web.actuaries.ie/press/speeches 

The SAI's Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Committee organised a pilot Transition Year Work Experience program (the “SAI TY program”) with the aim of introducing the actuarial profession to students from diverse backgrounds. The aim of the program was to reach students who would not normally have access to this type of experience. 

The SAI TY program is an interactive 4-day program for transition year students run by Susan HayesCulleton of The Positive Economist and Savvy Teen Academy, in collaboration with volunteers from the D&I Committee and sponsoring employers.
