## Resource

Lucas and Luna dive into the emerging market for carbon insurance—policies that protect carbon credit buyers if the underlying offsets fail to deliver promised emissions reductions. With the voluntary carbon market projected to hit $50 billion by 2030, insurers like Swiss Re and specialist underwriters are launching products that verify and guarantee carbon removal credits. Lucas breaks down how a single forest fire in California wiped out 1.2 million tons of verified offsets last year, and how parametric insurance could rebuild trust in a market plagued by greenwashing accusations. The hosts discuss the mechanics of 'carbon performance insurance,' the role of third-party auditors, and whether insurance premiums themselves create a perverse incentive to exaggerate risk. Luna questions whether the insurance tail is wagging the carbon dog, and Lucas walks through a real policy example from a 2025 pilot program in Southeast Asia. A concrete look at how financial engineering is trying to solve one of net-zero's biggest credibility problems. #CarbonInsurance #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #ClimateRisk #OffsetCredibility #SwissRe #ParametricInsurance #NetZero #CarbonCredits #Greenwashing #ForestryOffsets #InsurancePremium #Verification #CarbonMarketIntegrity #ClimateFinance #Sustainability #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
