Climate advisory and insurance broking, all under one roof

Brazil has set bold climate targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than half (between 59% and 67%) by 2035, and achieve net zero by 2050. There is also a commitment to zero deforestation by 2030.

These goals are backed by the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0), alongside public policy alignment. Sector-specific, measurable targets, mandatory corporate ESG disclosure, and carbon reduction are key focus areas of the Climate Plan 2024-2035.

Thousands of businesses across sectors, public and private, are already being affected. Forward-thinking leaders are pushing ahead with plans to safeguard their operations and build resilient a platform to succeed.

But it is not going to be easy. Brazil's business leaders also face the following challenges:

As the climate changes, so does insurance procurement. Be prepared.

As the effects of climate change increase and compound, buying insurance will become more complicated. It's highly likely that insurers will become much more selective about which risks they take on.

Without a solid insurability strategy, your business may not be able to acquire the same insurance it has today. There may also be extra covenants in policies, with more stringent requirements on adaption measures and risk management efforts.

Insurability is the ability to secure affordable insurance for assets, investments, operations and projects. In the climate change era, maintaining insurability is fast becoming as important as maintaining a good credit rating. To get affordable coverage, you’ll need to think like insurers think – and have the data to back it up.

Our team of climate practitioners and specialist insurance brokers are ready to support your insurability efforts. We’ll add value all the way from analysis and planning to insurance placement and claims advocacy. Working together, we’ll build climate risk and insurability strategy into your decision-making models.

By doing so, you’ll improve your negotiating position in the insurance markets, helping you achieve continuity of coverage.
