The United Nations-convened Sustainable Insurance Forum (SIF) in partnership with the International Association of Iheir efforts in assessing and addressing risks from climate change. It also sets out recommendations and examples of good practice consistent with the IAIS Insurance Core Principlensurance Supervisors (IAIS), has published the Application Paper on the Supervision of Climate-related Risks in the Insurance Sector. The Paper provides insurance supervisors with concrete tools to further strengthen ts (ICPs).
From 2024, all countries will face more stringent reporting requirements on their climate action under the Paris Agreement’s enhanced transparency framework (ETF). For developing countries — and the least developed countries (LDCs) in particular — it is a big step up from existing arrangements.
This executive summary Towards a Resilient and Sustainable Post-Pandemic Recovery summarises key recommendations for Europe's post-COVID sustainable industrial policy.
This report outlines a range of toolkits policymakers can use to help countries set clear and predictable strategies, increase the attractiveness of green investments, and better understand and manage climate-related and environmental risks.
Melting glaciers and the loss of seasonal snow pose significant risks to the stability of water resources in South Asia. Climate change and deposits of anthropogenic black carbon (BC) are the major drivers of the accelerating glacier melt. This report investigates the extent to which the BC reduction policies of South Asian countries may affect glacier formation and melt within the context of a changing global climate. It assesses the relative impact of each source of black carbon on snow and glacier dynamics. The authors simulate how BC emissions interact with projected climate scenarios, estimate the extent to which these glacial processes affect water resources in downstream areas of these river basins, and present scenarios until 2040.
