The UN Climate Change Conference – a wake-up call for insurers
Preparations for the the next UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow later this year are in full motion. The trend has been that investment portfolio managers are expected to not only report on the carbon footprint of their assets, but also set clear emission reduction targets. Similarly, the next trend could be that we see a surge for insurers to report on the emissions associated with the claims that are being handled and paid, and that relevant actions will be defined and followed-up on.
