Nature plays a significant role in reducing risks for coastal communities, flooding, food security, and a range of other ecosystem services that often remain undervalued and inadequately financed in our market economy. This inspiring webinar will look at innovative ways in which the risk abatement value of nature can be monetized and maintained through innovative risk financing mechanisms that support ecosystem resilience. Presenters and panelists include Cherie Gray of Swiss Re, Mark Way of TNC, Jacq Wharton of Willis Towers Watson, and Claudia Ruiz of the MAR Fund.
