September 2019: UN General Assembly and Climate Week: showcasing conservation finance solutions and investing in nature, the blue economy

As part of UNGA and the Climate Summit, Better Finance is presenting on blue economy solutions alongside global leaders in impact investing and sustainable finance. The world’s first coral reef insurance is currently being implemented. For coastal communities, natural systems like coral reefs provide the first line of defence against storms- a healthy coral reef can reduce up to 97 percent of a wave’s energy before it hits the shore. With billions of dollars’ worth of built capital and millions of livelihoods protected from storm impact by coral reefs around the world, this is a market ripe for expansion. Zoltani will lead this conversation among key stakeholders involved in the scaling of the reef insurance: how reef insurance works, what are plans to scale, and what financing mechanisms will enable this expansion.
