#315 | Why Your Retirement Investing Strategy Won’t Protect You From Climate Risk & What to Do Instead

What happens to your wealth when the world changes faster than your portfolio can adapt?

Climate change is no longer just an environmental concern—it can create financial risk through inflation, extreme weather, changing asset values, insurance costs, and physical exposure that traditional financial models may fail to capture.

In this episode, we speak with Ron Dembo, CEO and founder of Risk Thinking AI, about why investors need to rethink how they measure risk in a rapidly changing climate. Ron explains why climate change should be viewed as a volatility problem, why many assets may be improperly priced, and why retirees—with less time to recover from major losses—could be particularly vulnerable.

You’ll learn:

How climate risk can create hidden exposure in your portfolio and why traditional financial models may not fully account for it.Why inflation can threaten your retirement security and what kinds of assets may provide a stronger hedge against rising costs.Why becoming more conservative may be essential when the future is radically uncertain and climate-related risks are becoming harder to ignore.

Listen to the full episode to discover how you can make more resilient wealth decisions in a world where climate risk and inflation may be much more significant than your portfolio assumes.
