Actuarial science plays a vital role in sustainability by modeling, measuring, and mitigating environmental and social risks. Actuaries apply frameworks like the triple bottom line and interdisciplinary strategies to help businesses evaluate and manage their economic, environmental, and social impacts. 

Identifying emerging risks is essential in the actuarial field to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving world. Challenges such as climate change and global health crises—like the COVID-19 pandemic—require actuaries to assess complex uncertainties. Their insights support the development of strategies that help organizations mitigate risks and adapt effectively.
