Climate Risk Initiative

CLEE’s Climate Risk Initiative, led by former California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, researches and develops market based, regulatory and public policy tools to assist the insurance and financial industries in recognizing, addressing and responding to the risks caused by climate change.

The Initiative harnesses the expertise of leading law faculty and students, researchers, and public and private sector leaders to develop high-impact market based, regulatory, and public policy approaches to address climate risk facing the insurance sector and the broader financial sector. It produces policy guidance for key decision-makers, creates a space to convene industry and other stakeholders for action-oriented discussion, promotes research to the public via events and media outreach, and serves as a resource to policy makers seeking to implement new and innovative tools.
