The consequences of biodiversity and ecosystem loss for humanity
as a whole are potentially devastating. Ecosystems and
biodiversity, among others, can be considered a source of defence
against the effects of climate change and are closely
interconnected with it.
Omitting to consider the importance of these aspects, mitigation
and adaptation to the consequences of the loss of nature, can
represent a source of economic risk potentially undermining
financial stability, as well as compromising people's physical and
mental well-being.
Industries that rely heavily on nature generate 50 per cent of
global gross domestic product. In recent years, institutional focus
to the risks posed by the loss of biodiversity and ecosystems has
increased, also with specific reference to the insurance sector,
both by regulators and by the industry players themselves, who are
aware of the potential consequences for business.
So far, the industry focus when approaching to ESG risks, has been
mainly on climate change. However, climate risks and risks
associated with the loss of nature are closely intertwined. The
objective of this session is to describe what is the loss of nature
related risks for insurers, what are possible approaches to manage
those risks, the disclosure involved (e.g., ESRS, TNFD) and to give
a view on impacts, opportunities and recommendations for the
insurance sector.
