Geneva, Switzerland — Nassim Nicholas Taleb, philosopher, essayist, statistician, and bestselling author (“The Black Swan”, “Fooled by Randomness”) will be a keynote speaker at the UNEP FI Global Roundtable in Washington, D.C. He will address the participants at the opening conference plenary, titled: Systems, Stability and Sustainability. The panel will explore the benefits for investors and financiers arising from the use of better quality and wider “lenses” that give greater depth, breadth and granularity to their understanding of a wider range of risks, as well as employment of “clocks” which heighten their appreciation of the temporal nature of risks.
