Legal Voices for the Future presents their May knowledge session on Climate Change & Risk: The critical role of the insurance sector in the climate crisis. The insurance industry is one of the largest in the world, estimated to be worth around $6 trillion. Insurance is ubiquitous, many types of insurance are mandatory, and its function as a crucial risk transfer mechanism has long been recognised. These characteristics make the insurance industry a key player in tackling the grave risks posed by climate change, and in facilitating a just transition.
This session will explore the threefold role of the insurance industry in the climate crisis, as: 1. a hub of knowledge, skills, data and capabilities on the assessment and evaluation of risk; 2. an enabler of the transfer and abatement of risk, that can encourage adaptation to and mitigation of climate change risk; and 3. one of the largest institutional investors globally, which can direct funds towards the transition to Net Zero. The session will highlight the role which lawyers can take within the industry and as trusted advisers, helping to assess risks and working collaboratively on solutions to the challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss and ensuring a just transition.

Brought to you by LEGALEX, , this event is a must attend event built specifically for the senior leadership of in-house legal teams.
Companies once built in-house legal teams simply to provide legal advice, but the world of legal operations has changed forever and in-house teams are now expected to drive business objectives, define strategy, mitigate risk and support commercial outcomes all against a shifting and sometimes chaotic geopolitical landscape. These changing expectations have dramatically increased workloads and in turn the appetite for technology based solutions to help with the workload. Company culture, ethics, safeguarding independence and regulatory complexity are all, also, pressing concerns for in-house teams. This summit will aim to address all of these issues and provide real world, actionable insight from world class experts.
