Gain exclusive access to the Zurich Risk Room (ZRR), Zurich’s award-winning country risk assessment tool. Designed to illustrate the impact of multivariate risks on individual countries and the complex interconnectivity between different types of risks, the ZRR will be used as part of this competition to solve corporate challenges.

The current climate change debate confronts senior decision-makers in multinational organizations all over the world with the challenge to understand how their business and risk environment will and must adjust in response to climate change. Even in countries, which are currently less directly impacted by climate change, organizations that fail to implement adequate climate change mitigation strategies might face adverse consequences for their supply chain, operations, workforce or reputation.

Multinational organizations need to implement adequate mitigation actions in order to manage their operations and risk landscape in countries directly and indirectly impacted by climate change. At the same time, they need to conduct strategic planning in order to explore innovative ways of managing associated risk exposures in the long-term.
