About the session

What’s covered

What role does insurance play in enabling systemic transformation? How can innovative insurance and financial mechanisms de-risk the transition to circular business models and protect climate-vulnerable industries?

The shift to circular business models requires more than operational changes; it demands new financial tools to manage transition risks. This session brings together leaders from insurance, the multi-billion dollar outdoor recreation industry, and climate finance to explore how parametric insurance and other financial innovations can protect local economies and accelerate circular adoption. Learn how companies can leverage insurance mechanisms to stabilize revenue streams, fund climate resilience and scale circular strategies across industries – from ski resorts facing uncertain winters to manufacturers building regenerative supply chains. The discussion will showcase real-world examples and offer a practical roadmap for using financial innovation to overcome systemic barriers to circular transformation.
