World Climate Foundation

This week, at London Climate Action Week #LCAW2024, our Oliver Wyman experts joined industry leaders and policymakers to discuss how to finance the global transition to net zero. Highlights include speaking at the World Climate Foundation's Climate Investment Summit and Bloomberg's Sustainable Finance Forum, hosting events with CDP and World Economic Forum, and launching our report on Accelerating Carbon Dioxide Removal with the City of London Corporation. Our key takeouts from the week: 1. Collaboration between insurers, investors, and the real economy is key to derisking the climate transition and unlocking much-needed investment. 2. A focus on actionable solutions that produce real changes in business operations is key to closing the UK green investment gap, from investing more capex towards green business models to regulating transparent disclosures. 3. Access to capital is still a challenge for many companies in some hard-to-abate sectors. Industry-led groups have a vital role to play in building practitioner-led frameworks that policymakers can endorse. 4. The market for nature finance exists, but investors, industry, and corporations must collaborate for this to be fully utilized. Key issues to resolve are a lack of definition, a mismatch between KPI categories and industry language, and complexity in the system. 5. The UK has the potential to play a leading role in the global carbon removal market, bringing together its financing, trading, insurance, legal, and standard-setting capabilities. But action must be taken to mobilize around the opportunity. Explore our insights: https://owy.mn/3VKDtZS #ClimateAction #Sustainability

I have mentioned before that one of the business relationships that I have found most rewarding and fruitful over recent years has been the World Gold Council's partnership with the World Climate Foundation. At their excellent events, such as Wednesday's #ClimateInvesmentSummit (part of a crammed London Climate Action Week), I have been able to not only expand my own knowledge but also build meaningful relationships with people and organisations also committed to advancing progress in addressing the climate crisis. And, as we witnessed very clearly at the Summit, the Foundation and its supporters have also been quick to grasp and explore the intersections and interdependencies of addressing the Nature crisis as a fundamental part - foundation? - of climate-focused strategies and actions. Thanks again to the #WCF team and all of the inspiring people I spoke to this week. #CIS2024

It was a pleasure to be in discussion at the #CIS2024 hosted by LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) with Lucy Fitzgeorge-Parker from Responsible Investor and Yvonne McCarthy at the Central Bank of Ireland on how #insurance and #regulators are working together to help enable the #transition to #netzero and #resilient systems. We talked about - how regulation has changed relatively quickly to incorporate #climaterisk in both #prudential risk systems and into #disclosure - insurance products being deployed in new ways to support the transition - overcoming some of the road-blockers to accelerating investment by allowing more risk taking and sharing of relevant information Some of the solutions include: - #parametric insurance to accelerate payments when pre-agreed events (e.g. a storm over a certain category) occur or pre-emptive payments (such as Humanity Insured) to support people in developing and emerging markets - Technology performance #warranties to improve the cost of capital for project developers and meet risk appetite thresholds with their providers of debt - #Creditriskinsurance for capital providers to protect against probability of default Howden
