The Chartered Body Alliance, the partnership of three professionals bodies with a combined membership of 200,000, has launched its first joint qualification, a Certificate in Climate Risk.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published two consultations looking at climate-related financial disclosure rules for pension providers, asset managers and life insurers.

Andy Briggs, group CEO of Phoenix Group and former chair of the ABI, is to chair a new climate change committee for the trade body.

The FCA wants better disclosure to clients on climate change issues and ‘green’ financial products.
