Pathways to Climate-Resilient Decarbonised Critical Infrastructure in the 21st Century

The insurance industry has a critical role to play in ensuring the resilience of critical infrastructure to the impacts of climate change. As risk experts, underwriters and investors, insurance is enabling economic resilience and entrepreneurial pathways for addressing climate change goals and targets. At a recent event in Toronto, co-organised with Intact Financial Corporation and Sun Life Financial, executives of global re/insurance and financial companies and officials from governments, international development banks and inter-governmental organisations discussed pathways to a decarbonised economy.
