The insurance sector, managing approximately $30 trillion in assets and representing about 12% of global capital markets, is often seen as conservative and risk-averse. However, insurance companies are increasingly at the forefront of addressing climate risk. This panel will explore cutting-edge research on climate risk, the role of policy in mitigating these risks, and how private sector initiatives are driving environmental and financial sustainability in insurance. Join us to learn about the innovative strategies transforming the industry.
