SUSTAINABILITY CHAMPIONS: MSME RESILIENCE

The Generali Group and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are taking action to address the crucial challenges of climate resilience and adaptation. Our collaboration draws attention to the growing threat of climate change and climate-related risks for MSMEs around the world. We want to focus on developing and strengthening innovative insurance solutions against these risks, to ensure the resilience of local markets and thereby contribute to the stability of global value chains.

How do climate shocks impact emerging markets, and what social implications do they have on MSMEs and vulnerable populations? How can the public and private sectors boost the resilience of MSMEs in developing countries? And what additional efforts can insurers make to ensure stability?

Join us on the 2nd of December from 5:00pm for our event:

“Sustainability Champions: Strengthening MSMEs for a Climate-Resilient Tomorrow”
