Climate
Change: Insuring a Net Zero Future
Commercial insurers play a critical role in
enabling the transition of society and the wider economy towards a low carbon
future
Severe weather events in Canada caused insured losses of
$2.1 billion in 2021, making 2021 the sixth costliest since 1983. The impact of
climate change is undeniable - the societal challenge is how do organizations,
including insurers, transition to a low carbon future?
Many commercial insurers are undergoing a cultural
transformation across their underwriting business, embedding climate
considerations in their strategic approach and appetite decision-making. They
are also committing risk management expertise and guidance to assist customers
as they seek to reduce emissions and evolve their business practices to minimize
their environmental impact.
This session will explore, from a commercial insurance
perspective:
- The role commercial insurers play towards net zero
commitments
- How climate change is affecting underwriting, and what
the industry can do to contribute towards a low carbon transition
- What Net-zero underwriting means for customers and
brokers
- How the industry can support customers and brokers on
their transition to a low-carbon future
