The Modern Government: Keyed in on Climate

Central to today’s Modern Government is a focus on building resilience and transformation. As climate change is increasingly seen as a significant risk to the management of infrastructure and the delivery of services, it is also seen, by some, as an opportunity to invest in more sustainable assets. Leaders are starting to focus on developing strategies and prioritizing climate goals that will transform the way we live and work, honing in on emerging technologies and data-driven decisions to better navigate the approaching risks, while potentially realizing longer term benefits.

In the third installment of our Modern Government series, GovExec and KPMG sit down with experts in climate policy and governance to better understand the ever-evolving climate-related regulatory landscape, how best to avoid and mitigate risk and where there are opportunities to seize momentum for transformation in a net-zero world.
