Many companies have crafted climate-related strategies and taken steps to measure and manage their climate-related risks. Many companies are only in the early stages of understanding how nature relates to climate, but this topic has been steadily climbing the sustainability agenda.  In today’s episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we zoom in on how the insurance industry is managing the joint challenge of climate change and biodiversity loss — and what solutions it is bringing to the table.    We speak to Rebekah Clement, Corporate Affairs Director at Lloyd’s of London, a global specialist insurance and reinsurance marketplace.   "The two are inextricably linked, and it is so, so important that we're looking at both of them in the round," Rebekah tells us. "I'd say that we are more advanced with respect to how we're looking at climate versus biodiversity. But ultimately, we need to really focus on how we can advance nature within what we do." We also talk to Regula Hess, Senior Advisor for Sustainable Finance at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Switzerland and one of the authors of a 2023 report on how insurers can address climate and biodiversity risks.   And we speak to Marcel Meyer, Partner and Switzerland Sustainability Lead at audit, consulting and advisory firm Deloitte, which co-wrote the report with the WWF.  Listen to our episode about how nature showed up on the agenda at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/nature-was-front-and-center-on-the-davos-agenda-here-s-why  Listen to our episode about the role of nature at the UN’s COP28 biodiversity conference in Dubai: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/what-to-expect-from-nature-and-climate-in-2024  And listen to our coverage of COP15, the UN’s 2022 conference on biodiversity: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/on-the-ground-at-cop15-how-business-is-getting-to-grips-with-biodiversity   Read research from S&P Global Sustainable1about how the world’s largest companies depend on nature and biodiversity: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/how-the-world-s-largest-companies-depend-on-nature-and-biodiversity   This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.     Copyright ©2024 by S&P Global     DISCLAIMER     By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.
