Financing the Transition: Climate Investment & Insurance Risk | ESG Decoded Podcast #194

Could the climate crisis first emerge as an insurance crisis? As climate-related risks intensify, questions are growing around the future affordability and availability of insurance for individuals, businesses, and communities.

In this episode, Anna Stablum speaks with Liza Jansen, Head of Responsible Investment at Prudential, about the growing role of finance in supporting the transition to a more sustainable economy. Together, they discuss the opportunities and challenges of directing capital toward climate solutions, particularly in emerging markets where investment need is greatest.

Their conversation also examines what these risks could mean for businesses, investors, and communities in the years ahead.
