The Insurance for Nature-Positive Leadership Forum will convene a select group of leaders from insurance, government and finance, alongside technical experts, to explore how nature-based solutions (NbS) can reduce disaster risk, strengthen resilience and support long-term insurability.
Held following the Nature Positive Global Summit in Kumamoto and ahead of Seventeenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP17) in Yerevan, the forum will focus on practical pathways to integrate nature-based resilience into insurance and risk management. Through high-level dialogue and real-world examples—including public–private partnerships and innovative financing—participants will explore how insurance, policy and investment can align to scale nature-based risk reduction.
The forum is hosted by MS&AD Insurance Group and convened by UNEP FI.
Space is limited and registration is required. Please kindly register your interest to attend.
