Climate change risk
In the fourth podcast episode of our third Emerging Risks series, we explore the growing significance of Indigenous Rights as an insurance risk.
Building on the webinar discussion, this episode explores how indigenous rights intersects with emerging risks like climate liability and extraterritorial litigation. Drawing on real-world cases, including examples from Colombia, the episode highlights the financial losses and legal liabilities corporations may face when Indigenous Rights are not respected.

If we think about where indigenous rights sit, they do sit at this junction between environmental, climate, and ESG -related liabilities. They sit at the junction with social inflation, where claims are being brought into head office courts. They touch upon extraterritorial liability. It is really, I think, quite important for insurers to have at least a background knowledge of the content and the relevance of Indigenous rights.
