Greening Insurance
While climate change poses potential threats to the insurance industry, it also offers enormous opportunities for innovation. Just as insurers historically had a constructive role in founding the first fire departments, building codes, and vehicle safety testing, they have now an opportunity to develop creative products and services to minimize the causes and effects of climate change.
