🗞️ Insurance is "primed to ease" the bottleneck of #CORSIA-eligible credits, Oka Founder & CEO Chris Slater tells Carbon Pulse. Mounting evidence points to potentially significant supply-demand imbalance by 2030, as buy-side pressures (higher-than-expected emissions, slower-than-expected #SAF adoption) collide with sell-side obstacles. Sufficient insurance coverage should not be one. ⚠️ Important article and comments from The World Bank's Kyoo-Won Oh on the role of insurance in operationalizing the world's first mandatory offsetting scheme. https://lnkd.in/ecAPAiD7

Climate extremes pose a growing threat to the insurance industry. Climate solutions and green technology, however, represent its next major market opportunity. How should insurance providers prepare? 🔗 Listen to the webinar recording 'Insurance & Cleantech: New Markets for Climate Resilience' to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eCdF8_WX

Latest on #sustainability and #insurance from The Insurer. Excellent Rebecca Delaney, Scott Vincent -- "Since last month’s edition, Donald Trump was inaugurated as US president for the second time. This month we consider the impact of the US government’s diversity, equity and inclusion rollback on the country’s insurance sector and on the wider global specialty insurance market. Elsewhere, following the recent release of a report by the Centre for Disaster Protection calling for a tenfold increase in pre-arranged crisis finance, co-chair Colin Bruce said the new US administration is unlikely to affect the evolution of the international disaster relief system. We also hear from Oka, The Carbon Insurance Company® CEO and founder Chris Slater as Syndicate 1922 heads into its second year of operations, with wider commentary around the state of the carbon markets. Axa Climate’s Toby Behrmann and Theophile Bellouard outline opportunities in the nature insurance market, while a trio from Aon, Swiss Re and Floodbase discuss the launch of a new parametric insurance solution targeting storm surge. We also bring our latest monthly tracker table of recent announcements and initiatives launched across the sector.
