Climate change, environmental and social risks can have an important impact on human, social and economic life. If not managed properly, they can pose material risks to the assets and liabilities of insurers and pension providers.
At the same time, the insurance and pensions sector can play an important role in the mitigation and adaptation to climate change or sustainability risks, through their investments, products and services. Given their role as society’s risk managers and important long-term investors, insurers and pension funds have a unique opportunity and responsibility to address sustainability-related challenges and facilitate the transition to a more sustainable and resilient economy.
