Together with carbon insurance specialist, Kita, we are pleased to launch a new landmark report entitled “Gross Written Carbon: Are carbon credits the next billion-dollar insurance market?”
ESG and sustainability strategies are often risk-centric and neglect the real opportunities for underwriting solutions that can drive profit for (re)insurers. The carbon credit insurance opportunity is one that has the potential for profit, and also purpose, playing a vital role in decarbonisation in the fight against climate change.
The report takes a comprehensive view of the market, considering the challenges and limitations, alongside the sizeable opportunities. Ultimately, explosive growth of the currently nascent market is a question of “when, not if”.
The content features in-depth interviews with leading industry experts including brokers (AON, Howden and Marsh) and (re)insurers (AXA XL, CFC, Chaucer and Fidelis). In addition, you’ll find mini-explainers related to terminology and market structure, deep-dives into specifics (including the implications of COP28 outcomes) and case studies to showcase the work already underway across the industry.
