GaiaSicura joins CISL’s ClimateWise Member Network

The Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership’s (CISL) ClimateWise has welcomed GaiaSicura as its newest member, helping to support the advancement of research, innovation and leadership contributing to nature-positive transformation across the global insurance sector. 

 

We are incredibly proud to share that GaiaSicura has joined ClimateWise’s member network, the global insurance leadership group convened by CISL.

For us, this is far more than joining another industry initiative. It’s an opportunity to contribute to a progressive network that is helping to shape the future direction of insurance, sustainability and climate resilience at a time when those conversations have never mattered more. 

As a business founded around the idea of “securing a future for nature”, we’ve always believed the insurance industry has a unique role to play in driving meaningful environmental progress. Insurance sits underneath the global economy. It influences investment, innovation, and long-term confidence. As climate and biodiversity risks accelerate, our industry has both a responsibility and an opportunity to help support positive change. 

 

Why ClimateWise matters 

ClimateWise occupies a unique position within the global insurance landscape. Established by His Majesty King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) and facilitated by CISL, the initiative brings together insurers, brokers, academics and policymakers to address some of the defining challenges of our time, from climate risk and biodiversity loss to resilience, adaptation and the future of insurability itself. 

What makes ClimateWise particularly exciting for us is the combination of practical industry leadership and the world-class research capability of CISL. There are very few institutions capable of bringing together business, academia, and policymakers in a way that can genuinely influence outcomes at scale. 

Welcoming our team to the initiative, Director of ClimateWise, Felicity Alvey’s words resonated strongly with us because they reflect exactly why GaiaSicura exists. 

Their deep-rooted expertise in leveraging risk transfer for nature regeneration is a powerful addition to the initiative, aligning with the long-standing commitment of ClimateWise to help strengthen financial resilience and protect the world’s ecosystems.

Bringing nature-focused expertise into the conversation 

As London’s first specialist nature-focused insurance broker, we founded GaiaSicura around the insight that nature-related risk and resilience will become increasingly important to the future of insurance and finance. 

Joining ClimateWise gives us the opportunity to contribute our perspective while learning from organisations and individuals working at the forefront of sustainable insurance globally. We are especially excited by the collaborative nature of the initiative and the chance to help explore original approaches to insurability, resilience and nature-positive outcomes. 

We truly believe the insurance industry has an enormous opportunity to create meaningful change in the world of nature regeneration and wider sustainable initiatives. By joining ClimateWise and CISL, we look forward to seeing how our focused approach can contribute to that progress alongside like-minded, outcome-driven people and organisations.

 

Looking ahead 

This feels like an important moment for the industry. Collaboration, research and practical innovation will be essential if insurance is to continue supporting resilient economies, climate adaptation, and healthy ecosystems in the decades ahead. 

The research and facilitating capability of CISL creates a unique platform for those conversations and opportunities, and we’re genuinely excited to begin contributing to the work ahead. 

We look forward to sharing more as our involvement with ClimateWise develops and to continuing the conversation around climate resilience, sustainable insurance and nature regeneration with our growing network.
