8. How banks and insurance companies can help Nature-based Solutions

Banks and insurance companies command vast amounts of money. When it comes to financing marine and coastal conservation and restoration, how can they get involved?

In this episode, BNCFF manager Dorothée Herr questions a banker, an insurer, and a policy expert about aligning global efforts with ocean impact. Can proper disclosure mechanisms make sure companies’ resources are going to the right places? What kinds of insurance products exist for the blue economy? And what policy signals does the world of finance need?

With special thanks to Judson Berkey, Managing Director of Sustainability Regulatory Strategy at UBS; Chip Cunliffe, Biodiversity Director at AXA XL; and Moritz von Unger, Policy Director at Silvestrum. Additional thanks to Martin Koehring, Head of the World Ocean Initiative at Economist Impact.
