Climate Risk & Resilience
Helping you thrive, not just survive, in the climate transition
Climate advisory and insurance broking, all under one roof
At Howden, climate advisory practitioners and insurance specialists work side by side.
By connecting the two distinct disciplines under one roof, we offer an integrated end-to-end service that delivers tangible benefits.
Insurance is the bedrock of the financial system. Used thoughtfully, it holds the key to getting projects off the ground and reducing capital costs. This can help you progress your climate response and unlock the door to opportunities.
Building insurance thinking into your climate strategy – and equally, building climate thinking into your insurance strategy – ensures a joined up, pragmatic approach.
Working with us, you'll have certainty on your starting point, clarity on the path ahead, and the confidence to grow.

Climate change is likely to affect your business in the following ways:
- New disclosure requirements
- Supply chain disruption
- Problems accessing affordable insurance coverage
- Challenges accessing finance
- Weather incidents causing damage to property and business interruption
- Reputation management issues (e.g. greenwashing)
- Compliance and legal issues
- New opportunities and markets
Howden turbocharged our thinking in this area by at least three years, compared to attempting to undertake this work internally

As the climate changes, so does insurance procurement. Be prepared.
As the effects of climate change increase and compound, purchasing insurance will become more complicated. It is highly likely that insurers will become much more selective as to 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 can build climate risk and insurability strategy into your decision-making models. By doing so, you can improve your negotiating position in the insurance markets, helping you achieve continuity of coverage.
