The International Actuarial Association Releases ISAP 8 on IFRS S2 Climate Related Disclosures 

The International Actuarial Association (IAA) is pleased to announce the publication of the International Standard of Actuarial Practice 8 (ISAP 8) on IFRS S2 Climate Related Disclosures. 
 
This model standard was adopted by the IAA Council at its meeting held in Marrakech, Morocco, on 23 November 2025. ISAP 8 provides guidance to actuaries when performing actuarial services in connection with IFRS S2 Climate Related Disclosures, published by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). 
The IAA intends ISAP 8 to: 
  • Facilitate convergence in standards of actuarial practice in connection with the IFRS S2 Standard;  
  • Increase public confidence in actuarial services provided relating to the IFRS S2 Standard; and  
  • Demonstrate the IAA’s commitment to support the work of the ISSB to enhance investor-company dialogue so that investors receive decision-useful, globally comparable sustainability-related disclosures that meet their information needs. 
 
ISAPs are model standards intended for adoption by actuarial standard-setting bodies as appropriate, and as such, are not binding on any actuary. The IAA encourages actuarial standard-setting bodies to study these ISAPs and to consider taking one of the following courses of action in their jurisdiction: 
  • Adopting these ISAPs as standards with only the modifications in the Drafting Notes; 
  • Customizing these ISAPs by revising the text to the extent deemed appropriate by the standard-setting body while ensuring that the resulting standard or set of standards is substantially consistent with these ISAPs;  
  • Endorsing these ISAPs by declaring that they are appropriate for use in certain clearly defined circumstances;  
  • Modifying existing standards to obtain substantial consistency with these ISAPs; or 
  • Confirming that existing standards are already substantially consistent with these ISAPs. 
 
This new ISAP directly supports the IAA’s strategic objective of promoting the development and issuance of standards of actuarial practice in the jurisdictions of all IAA Member Associations.  
This model standard, along with the updated glossary of defined terms, is available on the IAA website under Knowledge/ International Standard of Actuarial Practice.
