As part of IETA’s LIVE webinar series, IETA hosted its webinar on emerging insurance solutions in carbon markets. In voluntary and compliance markets, insurance providers develop innovative solutions in an ever-changing landscape. Various products include insurance against political risk, advanced risk management for buffers, protection of corresponding adjustments, warranty and indemnity for carbon credits, forest fire and storm insurance, and more.

About The Webinar

This webinar aimed to clarify the current role and scope of insurance policies in carbon markets, provide details about certain policies, and establish how they can set new standards for risk management and transparency. The session drew from various IETA Members / insurance providers, as well as organizations which have invested in insurance policies to protect their services and project portfolios. A market background was provided, as well as an overview of various insurance policies from several providers. A user response followed the speakers who represent insurance providers, to give attendees a sense of the utility of such measures from a client perspective.
