Australian climate change alert launched today
Climate change continues to emerge as a prominent issue for businesses in Australia.

Businesses are grappling with the prospect of changing weather exposures, tighter regulations governing the output of greenhouse gases, and greater shareholder expectations. Companies also increasingly recognise that climate change is as much about opportunity as it is about mitigating exposure.

A new client alert, Climate Change: Risk and Opportunity, is available today, providing an Australian perspective on this important issue. Click here to access the paper.


 

12 April 2006



Tackling the risks of climate change
Climate change is potentially one of the most significant emerging risks facing the world today, presenting enormous challenges to the environment, the world economy and to individual businesses.

Businesses will be faced with a range of regulatory, legal, and environmental risks, coupled with the possible risk of an increase in frequency and severity of natural catastrophes as a result of climate change.

Download Marsh's latest Risk Alert, Climate Change: Business Risks and Solutions, which explores the current thoughts on climate change, the potential risks and implications for businesses and the insurance market, and possible approaches to the management of
these risks.

Business response to cyclone devastation
As the insurance industry and authorities take stock of the likely damage bill following Cyclone Larry in North Queensland, Marsh is advising companies impacted by the cyclone to evaluate anticipated losses and determine the natural peril sub-limits of individual insurance policies. Clients with affected assets in the region or known contingent exposures should approach their Marsh contact for advice.

Affected businesses should concentrate on the implementation of their Business Recovery Plans. Inquiries can be directed to John McKenzie at jmckenzie@mcgbi.com or click here to view our Business Continuity Management page.
