The reaction of businesses to the vast, cross-cutting challenge of global climate change has spurred the insurance industry to offer an array of new products and services aimed to reduce climate-related losses, facilitate emerging mitigating technologies, and encourage carbon trading markets.

These products stimulate investment in these emerging areas which, in turn, makes possible cutting-edge developments that promise to reduce or mitigate the adverse effects of global warming.
