70% of the UK is farmland. 🚜 But what does the farm of the future look like? 📈 And what are the implications for the #insuranceindustry ? By promoting and supporting sustainable farming practices, the insurance industry can foster a more secure and stable agricultural sector, mitigating risks and liabilities while promoting long-term resilience against environmental and economic uncertainties. For those in the insurance industry interested to learn more - join the Better Insurance Network's Resilience and Adaptation Summit next Tuesday to hear from Soil Association's Helen Browning & Louise Rezler from Soil Association Exchange. Looking forward to it! #saveoursoil #climate #resilience #adaptation #riskmitigation

A successful #ClimateTransition will require the best of human ingenuity, said Christian Mumenthaler, CEO of Swiss Re and Chairman of The Geneva Association, at #GAClimateTech. Insurance is among the challenges: if the insurance valve doesn’t open, we have a problem. Through their investments, insurers can also encourage other companies to finance the #ClimateTech we need. 👉To learn more, download the Geneva Association Climate Tech report: https://ow.ly/vTO030sBEIn

Carbon Insurance x3 at The Geneva Association earlier today w/Natalia Dorfman and Coenraad Vrolijk A theme throughout the day's conversations was around the speed and urgency of our actions that is required to aid the climate transition. And that this could only be done through collaboration. Multi disciplinary skills, coming together at all stages of carbon projects development and with insurance people working together to find solutions. I leave hopeful when reconvening in 5 years time its Carbon Insurance x50. #carboninsurance #netzero Kita, CarbonPool and Oka, The Carbon Insurance Company™

Let’s break this one down South West Water (Part 2) “…better customer outcomes, more robust services and, investment In operations and the environment…” - over 12,000 days worth of sewage being spilled (almost 33 years worth in 1 year!) destroying water eco systems, damaging your customers health, and compromising their businesses - leaking and thereby wasting 127million litres of water per day - being fined £2.15million for illegal pollution - being subject to an ongoing enforcement case by Ofwat into your poor environmental performance - being subject to an ongoing criminal investigation into potential widespread breaches of environmental permit conditions by the Environment Agency! “When we deliver, everyone benefits.” - well clearly your investors do very nicely out of your “unique business model” - your customers, who currently pay some of the largest water bills in the UK, certainly don’t, and when they see how much you are proposing to increase bills by in Amp 8 they will think so even less - our water environments are being poisoned by your “unique business model” - water users health is being put at risk at a level where it is only a matter of time before someone is either permanently disabled or is killed by exposure to sewage pathogens that you continue to discharge. Your pollution results in lost working days for business and puts additional strain on an already overburdened NHS - businesses that depend on clean water for their viability are under constant threat from your pollution, whether that’s producers from our food chain, or activity/wellbeing businesses whose clients are simply prevented from accessing the water. Apart from your investors and executives , who are clearly handsomely rewarded by your “unique business model”, who else sees any benefit from the services you are delivering? It is interesting to reflect on a statement read to the House of Commons on 19 September this year: (from Hansard) “For 10 deplorable years, South West Water has dished out huge dividends to its shareholders instead of investing to clean up its own filthy act. For 10 deplorable years, South West Water has been rated red by the Environment Agency - red for appalling, red for risky, red for downright dangerous. People can buy its shares if they fancy it and are brave enough, but they should look out, because this company has been borrowing its way out of trouble for many years.” That’s some testament to a “unique business model”……..! #waterscandal #sewagescandal

So much of this valuable commodity is exchanged on things of no value. How should organisations value its time? Is profitability the true measure of what it does or positive impact on life, including that of animals and the planet itself, be the only measure? The rest including profits, valuation etc be just incidental? #timemanagement #priorities #goalsetting

The insurance industry has the unique capability to send a clear signal about the economic costs of climate change through their pricing. They are also pushing the boundaries of traditional insurance by innovating to address sustainability challenges. These solutions help to narrow the protection gap related to climate change and take steps toward increasing insurance penetration within vulnerable populations, expanding its role as a protection provider.
