RISC Industry Colloquium: Hamid Varikkodan

The Risk and Insurance Studies Centre (RISC) is pleased to present the next session of the RISC Colloquium, featuring Dr. Hamid Hussain Varikkodan, Senior Technical Consultant at Jacobs.

From devastating cyclones in the Eastern and Western coasts to urban flood risks in India’s megacities, the impacts of climate change are increasingly urgent and complex. Drawing from a decade of hands-on experience collaborating with governments and international teams, this talk explores how rigorous climate risk assessments can be transformed into practical adaptation strategies. Real-world examples will showcase the use of advanced modeling, stakeholder engagement, and scenario-driven planning—illustrating pathways that protect communities, enable informed insurance decisions, and support sustainable infrastructure.

The session will focus on actionable lessons for bridging the gap between climate science and resilience-building on the ground.
