The session aims at clarifying the challenges posed by such an unprecedented type of risk and identifying subsequently the strengths and weaknesses of the tools and approaches proposed by policy makers in the EU insurance sector.
Finally, the session will try to outline the factors and policy priorities favouring not only an effective climate and sustainability risk reduction in the insurance sector, but also enabling a swift enough transition by insurance including regarding the supply of sustainability related products, while notably avoiding possible unnecessary legal and reputational threats.
Points of discussion
