How it works
From commitment to repayment
01
The financing pathway
Climate financings run across long tenors, multiple counterparties, and shifting delivery and policy conditions. Risk compounds through drawdown, monitoring, and repayment, where enforceability and recovery can be slow.
02
Where the risk sits
Between close and maturity, an obligor can miss scheduled payments or default – whether driven by project execution slippage, delayed cashflows, or disrupted settlement – leading to losses and potentially recovery lag.
03
If it goes wrong
If an obligor fails to pay the insured amount under the agreed credit terms of the loan or trade obligation, the insured receives a cash payout for the loss, reducing downside and stabilising recovery outcomes.
Who we insure
