Article summary

The Global Federation of Insurance Associations (GFIA) has published three key principles in line with the ‘build and rebuild better’ concept by improving infrastructure and implementing adaption strategies to address climate risks, ahead of the start of the UN Climate Change Conference 2021 (COP26). These three key principles are: building in a more resilient way (to avoid recurring disasters), building with green materials and circularity (using sustainable/recycled products), and co-financing better resilience (encouraging long-term sustainable investments in infrastructure).
