The insurance industry is getting into the resilience business. QBE Insurance and Ashoka – which promotes social entrepreneurship— are in the middle of what may be the first-ever resilience-focused entrepreneurial challenge for the urban environment.
“The fact is the climate change is affecting our clients – over time it’s going to be a pressing issue,” says Ted Stuckey, managing director of QBE Ventures. “We see it as an essential priority for QBE,” because climate change is “going to impact our bottom line and it is impacting our customers in many ways.”
