Reducing Emissions
- Industry must make quantitative progress in reducing carbon emissions
- Methodologies and frameworks will need to be in place to measure this progress
- Carriers must ensure clients have robust low-carbon transition plans before allocating capacity
Enabling Transition
- Brokers and carriers can work with clients to help firms manage their journey to net zero
- “Stick and carrot” approach can help change behaviour as economy transitions away from carbon
- Industry can develop products which enable the development of new technologies for low-carbon future
Building Resilience
- Solutions to close information gap can help industry develop risk transfer tools that help build societal resilience
- Innovative parametric tools can play important role in reducing economic hardship following climate-enabled events
- By “building back better” the industry can help create a more resilient society
Educating Society
- Industry can help communities understand, prepare for and reduce climate-related risks
- Initiatives can help educate client base and guide them through their own path to net zero
- These measures will in turn help reshape perceptions of the industry and potentially attract new talent
