Climate Summit To Be Held With Risk Summit
The Bermuda Business Development Agency [BDA] today announced that the fifth annual Bermuda Risk Summit will take place from 9–11 March 2026 at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, with a “significant strategic shift: the BDA will integrate its standalone Climate Summit into the Risk Summit platform, uniting two of its most high-impact event brands under one expanded global forum.”
A spokesperson said, “This evolution reflects the realities of today’s risk landscape, where environmental exposures, capital deployment, geopolitical pressure, and regulatory shifts are deeply interconnected. By embedding climate-related themes into the broader risk agenda, the BDA aims to sharpen focus, increase relevance, and deliver even greater value to the international [re]insurance, risk, life, and investment community.”
“This is about being responsive to the market and deliberate in our positioning,” said Kendaree Burgess, Managing Director of the BDA. “We’re seeing clear signals that capital markets and corporate leaders want integrated solutions — not siloed conversations. This move reflects Bermuda’s strengths: we are expert, agile, and attuned to the geopolitical and economic forces shaping risk worldwide.”
The spokesperson said, “Since its launch in 2022, the Bermuda Risk Summit has become a cornerstone of the global risk calendar, drawing senior leaders from across [re]insurance, ILS, life, capital markets, regulation, and advisory. As geopolitical risks and economic decoupling fuel uncertainty for global insurers, Bermuda continues to offer rare stability — underpinned by a robust regulatory framework and trusted jurisdictional standards.
“Insurers and asset managers increasingly view Bermuda as a critical hub for capital innovation — including private credit, insurance-linked securities, and alternative structures such as sidecars — especially as inflationary pressure and rate volatility persist. The 2026 event will build on this momentum, offering a deeper lens on capital optimisation, resilience, and integrated risk strategy.

OH NO! A Climate Summit! I wonder what the weather will be during that summit. Surely the experts can predict that far, 9–11 March 2026. Less than a year away. FYI – climate is the result of weather over a given region for decades; therefore, in order to predict climate change globally, one must first be able to predict billions of short-term local weather events accurately. Drumroll, please. And here come the comments in 3, 2, 1… Who will be first? JB?
