Extreme weather events are rapidly increasing in frequency and intensity due to the effects of climate change, making it difficult for insurance companies to manage rising risks and costs. Insurers are now left with no choice but to find ways to weather the storm. In the second episode of UNEP FI’s new podcast series Financing the future, we speak to Lesley Ndlovu, CEO of Africa Risk Capacity (ARC) and member of UNEP FI’s Leadership Council about how Africa is being affected by climate change, ways to manage climate risks and costs, and the role of insurers and the wider finance community in financing adaptation for a resilient future.
