Political Risk Insurance and the Environment

 Environment Feature

As the global community comes together to fight climate change, both the private and the public sector are stepping up to the challenge. PRI providers have a role to play and can have an impact by supporting 'green' projects, innovating to meet the needs of this growing market, and being environmentally responsible in the way they conduct business. In the area of carbon finance, investors have found new mechanisms to reduce their risk - Zurich's carbon credit product is one example of this. Support is also growing for cleaner energy projects and organizations such as the Asian Development Bank are now collaborating on how to provide funding and risk management options for these projects.
