How insurers can support the energy transition, enable climate change mitigation and adaptation action, and build resilience.
The Energy and Climate Change Law Institute was delighted to welcome our colleague Dr Franziska Arnold-Dwyer, Senior Lecturer in Insurance Law and Sustainability at the Centre for Commercial Law Studies, (CCLS), who presented on ‘The Role of Insurance in the Energy Transition’.
In her talk Franziska examined how insurers - in their capacity as risk carriers, risk managers and major institutional investors - can support the energy transition, enable climate change mitigation and adaptation action, and build resilience.
Franziska’s book ‘Insurance, Climate Change and the Law’ was published in March 2024.
