Our mission is to empower actuaries to face the risks that will shape our future.
Actuarial Notes develops educational resources and tools for actuaries. We help actuaries learn and apply their knowledge and skills to large-scale emerging risks, including climate change and artificial intelligence.
My name is Jordan and in the summer of 2023 I started Actuarial Notes from a small apartment in downtown Toronto. Following the shock of the pandemic, I wanted to understand the rising systemic risk in our economy and environment and learn what could be done about it.
Today’s world is facing complex, interconnected risk across categories of environment, society, and technology. Climate change is redrawing the line between insurable and uninsurable. AI is being deployed faster than we can measure the consequences for society.
These are problems of uncertainty at scale, and actuaries have the unique opportunity to make an impact on shaping policy and institutional decision-making. Our mission is to empower actuaries to face these generation-defining risks by building the tools you need to take them on.
Our goals
Build an actuarial learning platform.
Create spaces for community projects.

Be helpful.
To fulfill our mission, our work should be helpful to actuaries. That’s why we listen to your feedback – so that we can learn what’s working for you, and what’s not.
Accessibility helps everyone.
Accessibility is at the center of our mission to empower actuaries. It means communicating in a way that is personalized to the needs of an individual person. Our goal is to build products and services that are accessible by design.
