Insurance summit on climate change

THE Insurance Institute for Asia and the Pacific and Insurance Philippines held their 2nd Virtual Summit on June 22 and 23, 2022 with the theme "Climate Change — The Role of the Insurance Industry and the Public Sector." Climate change may seem to be a jaded topic in various forums, especially those conducted by the insurance industry. On the contrary, the topic is always relevant as it affects our daily existence. Typhoons, floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are events that happen or may happen whether we like it or not.

Invited to this summit were speakers representing global organizations and projects like the World Bank, the Earth Security Group and Project Oasis. Updates on local initiatives, both the public and private sector, were presented by speakers from the Climate Change Commission, the Department of Energy and Arise Philippines.
