With $19 trillion in transition finance needed by 2030\, insurance has the power to de-risk investments\, lower capital costs\, and accelerate the deployment of clean technologies\, infrastructure\, and nature-based solutions. \nJoin us for a must-attend webinar\, hosted in collaboration with the LIIBA – London & International Insurance Brokers’ Association\, where we’ll bring together leaders from the insurance\, banking\, and government sectors to explore: \n✅ How insurance can unlock transition finance and scale sustainable solutions\n✅ The regulatory challenges insurers face in supporting long-term climate projects\n✅ The role of insurance in de-risking nature-based solutions and carbon markets\n✅ Opportunities for collaboration between insurers\, businesses\, and policymakers \nWe’re excited to welcome Rowan Douglas CBE\, CEO of Climate Risk and Resilience at Howden\, James Close\, Head of Climate Change\, NatWest Group alongside voices from Government and other industry experts\, for this critical discussion. \n📢 Don’t miss out on this opportunity to understand how insurance is shaping the future of net zero. Register now and be part of the conversation!
