Climate change … still a hot topic with brokers in Australia?With an Emissions Trading Scheme ‘on hold’ and with increased weather events – what does climate change really mean for brokers and their clients in 2010? What are the risks and opportunities? Are brokers equipped to help their clients deal with the weather and climate change issues? Twelve months after the first Zurich-NIBA Climate Risk Survey, the 2010 survey will be emailed out to you shortly by NIBA, which is supporting the initiative. The findings of the Zurich-NIBA Climate Risk Survey will be presented at the 2010 NIBA Convention in October. “After the 2009 survey that saw over 10% of brokers from all over Australia expressing their opinion, we are keen to see if brokers’ views have changed or consolidated, and whether their awareness of climate change and related risks has increased or decreased,” said Nick Cook, National Intermediary Distribution Manager at Zurich. “It will be interesting to see how the Government’s stance has impacted the outlook of brokers on the matter. However, regardless of the political signals, the insurance industry can play a central role in increasing its own and society’s resilience to climate change risks from a risk management point of view.” The survey will be emailed out by NIBA in July, and the first 300 respondents will be rewarded with a small gift. The survey will also be available on www.zurich.com.au as of 7 July. Return to Broker Buzz |
