Generative AI: A global guide to key IP considerations
Artificial intelligence (AI) raises many intellectual property (IP) issues.
Global | Publication | 四月 2024
Climate change remains a critical issue for the insurance industry in 2024. The increasing frequency and severity of climate-related natural disasters is having a significant impact on physical risk exposures and the increasing protection gap. Adding to the pressure, climate change litigation over the insurance of non-renewable energy is on the rise and insurers are becoming the focus of various environmental campaign groups’ protests too.
As a regulatory priority, it is well known that the insurance sector is very well positioned and highly incentivized in relation to climate change mitigation and adaption for two reasons.
However, a response by the insurance industry alone is unlikely to be enough to mitigate the impacts of climate change on the global economy, with industry leaders advocating the need for public assistance, as systemic perils surpass the capacity of the insurance industry alone.
While there are many steps that insurers can take in relation to climate adaptation and mitigation, a collaborative effort between the private and public sector (including regulators, governments and policymakers) is fundamental to respond effectively to the increasing impacts of climate change and to prevent both systemic and isolated instances of market failures. This message was strongly emphasized at the UN Climate Change Conference COP 28 in 20231. We believe that the first step in achieving this lies in a comprehensive understanding of the most significant issues relating to climate change.

After a lacklustre finish to 2022 when compared to the vintage year for M&A that was 2021, dealmakers expected 2023 to see the market continue to cool in most sectors, in response to the economic headwinds of rising inflation (with its corresponding impact on financing costs), declining market valuations, tightening regulatory scrutiny and increasing geopolitical tensions.
