Friday 20th June | 12:30PM - 1:30PM BST

Insurance traditionally serves as a financial safeguard—covering business losses and facilitating the restoration of land or property after damage. But in the context of biodiversity and conservation, insurance is emerging as a powerful tool to help protect our ecosystems, particularly our most sensitive and protected ecological sites. Ecosystems are increasingly under threat from five major drivers of biodiversity loss:

  • Changes in land and sea use
  • Direct exploitation of organisms
  • Climate change
  • Pollution
  • Invasive alien species 

This insightful presentation explores how ecosystem owners and stewards can use insurance to protect against unexpected, acute ecosystem losses.
