As the world gets warmer and parts of it become uninsurable, we ask whether insurers can effectively model and price climate risk. We will explore who does, and who should, bear the cost of climate change, and what is needed from the industry to enable the transition to a net zero economy.
Greenbank’s head of ethical, sustainable and impact research Kate Elliot will chair the session, with Greenbank assistant investment manager Joel Swift and guest speaker Isabelle L'Héritier, senior campaigner and organiser of Insure Our Future campaign presenting.
Agenda:
― Introduction from Kate Elliot
― Joel Swift, Assistant Investment Manager, Greenbank
― Isabelle L'Héritier, Senior Campaigner and Organiser, Insure Our Future
― Panel Q&A
Green Shoots is Greenbank’s lunchtime webinar series where we are joined by specialist guest speakers to explore a sustainable investment topic.
