CLIMATE CHANGE by Abigail Murison
IN SHORT › Insurers can help the world
limit global warming to 1.5°C by advising their clients, investing in clean energy and other carbonreducing innovations, and adopting net zero business models.
› The coal, oil and gas industries are the major causes of greenhouse gases, and insurers need to move out of insuring and investing in these sectors as quickly as possible.
› The insurance industry can be
an incredibly powerful force in the drive for net zero, but it requires action and courage — especially from the market leaders.
