Announcing a first-of-its-kind wildfire resilience insurance policy.
CEO @ The Nature Conservancy | Leading bold efforts to scale conservation for people and nature.
This week, The Nature Conservancy and WTW announced a first-of-its-kind insurance policy that takes into account efforts to mitigate fire risk for California homeowners — an innovative model for incorporating nature-based solutions into the insurance market. The program is designed to incentivize proactive forest management through methods like tree thinning and prescribed burns, which are proven to reduce wildfire risks. By aligning financial tools with conservation goals, we can create scalable solutions that not only mitigate risks but also enhance the health of our forests and the well-being of our communities. 🌲 Check out the coverage in Environmental Finance (https://lnkd.in/eu6WxW9J) and ImpactAlpha (https://lnkd.in/e5kA9k9c) and learn more here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eWPAaUc3 📷 © Stuart Palley The Nature Conservancy in California
