Insurance Opportunities in Carbon Markets
Monday March 16, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm GMT
Join us for this panel discussion on carbon markets - specifically, the role of insurance in driving them and what carriers can do today to get ahead.

The event will be moderated by Canopius (representing insurance carriers), while our speakers will come from across the carbon markets value chain. You will hear the latest on the opportunities in the space from experts at Kita, Howden and Macquarie Global Carbon.

We will focus on practical questions and leave attendees with a tangible understanding of:
  • What insurers can bring to the table in supporting the development of carbon markets
  • Why insurers should be spend time on developing their capabilities in this space
  • What real client needs and opportunities are already there today
  • What insurers can do to get better informed, more comfortable with the market and start to get exposure to it
