Opening Keynote: Insurance at the Crossroads - The Next Decade of Risk & Resilience

The industry is facing a new mix of climate shocks, health pressures, AI disruption and geopolitical tension. This opening conversation asks what that really means for insurance: what should the sector stop doing, start doing, and scale up in the next 10 years?

10:00-10:50

How to Finance the Emerging Climate Opportunity

Emerging markets and developing economies are central to net zero yet still receive a fraction of the climate capital they need. This session explores how insurance can help unlock that flow from credit risk solutions to guarantees that de‑risk projects at scale. 

Speakers will unpack why current rules and risk weightings hold back high‑quality EMDE projects and share practical fixes and new models that could multiply lending without weakening financial stability. 

10:50-11:20

11:20-12:10

Climate, Nature, Health & the New Frontier

Wetlands, forests and floodplains are increasingly recognised as critical infrastructure, reducing climate risk while delivering measurable health benefits.  

This session explores how ecosystem restoration can be structured as an insurable and investable asset, translating flood protection, heat mitigation and air- and water-quality improvements into underwriting, insurance products.  

12:10-12:40

The New Risk Map: Climate, Energy & Geopolitical Exposure

The global transition to net zero is colliding with a new era of energy insecurity and geopolitical realignment. From supply chain shocks to resource nationalism, shifting energy flows are reshaping the landscape of climate and political risk. 

This session explores how insurers can navigate this evolving risk map, deploying capital, data, and innovation to bridge widening protection gaps while supporting the global transition toward a more secure and resilient energy future. 

12:40-12:50

Lightning Talk: The Role of Insurance in Biodiversity Protection

12:50-13:00

Lightning Talk: Innovation, AI & Insurance for Impact

As AI spreads through underwriting, claims and distribution, the real challenge is not speed but fairness.  

The session will highlight what good governance looks like in practice, how to bring customers and regulators along, and how insurers can use technology as a catalyst for trust, inclusion and better outcomes.

13:00-14:00

Lunch

14:00-14:50

Debate

14:50-15:10

Fireside Chat: Trust, Transparency & Industry Culture

This fireside shifts the focus from strategy to how the industry chooses to behave. What does it mean for insurers to earn a genuine social licence to operate to be fair, visible in moments of crisis and clear about the impact of their decisions?

We’ll explore how boards and executives can turn purpose statements into everyday practice, and what must change in incentives and culture if the industry is to be seen not just managing risks but earning trust. 

15:10-15:55

Solutions for Impact

A panel discussion with three initiatives that point to the future of insurance as an engine for resilience and impact. Each speaker will have a short slot to share their solution: from climate resilience and disaster response to social inclusion or new risk models followed by a brief Q&A.

These pitches are designed to spark collaboration, connect innovators with decision‑makers and show what new forms of partnership between insurers, civic actors and startups can look like in practice.  

15:55-16:25

Networking Coffee Break

16:25-16:55

Closing the Crisis Protection Gap

Across climate-related disasters, the gap between economic losses and insurance cover remains too wide.

With a focus on data, product design and community-led partnerships, this session explores how insurers can embed risk-based solutions into disaster preparedness, using pre-arranged tools such as insurance and contingent finance to enable faster response and extend fair, accessible protection to those currently excluded.

16:55-17:15

Closing Keynote: From Insight to Action

The closing keynote pulls together the day’s themes and turns them into a call to action. It will reflect on what has been learned about risk, resilience, inclusion and trust – and what this means for leaders returning to their organisations.

17:15-17:30
