Each episode examines a specific mechanism — from EU ETS permit prices to the impact of US Inflation Reduction Act subsidies on corporate balance sheets — and traces how these policies ripple through energy markets, manufacturing, and consumer prices. Lucas brings the numbers and institutional context (how the World Bank's carbon pricing dashboard works, what the Social Cost of Carbon actually measures), while Luna pushes for the practical implications: does a €50 carbon tax actually change behavior? What happens when a steel plant in Germany faces both emission costs and Chinese competition? The show serves investors, policy analysts, and business leaders who need to understand climate-related financial risk without the activism or greenwashing. Listeners walk away able to parse a carbon offset market, evaluate a company's net-zero roadmap, and spot the difference between a real price signal and a political slogan. How do you put a number on a ton of carbon — and who pays when that number is wrong? #CarbonPricing #GreenPolicy #SustainabilityCosts #EUETS #Infla…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T06:19:03.667812+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781"},"episode":{"title":"How Carbon Insurance Is Pricing Climate Risk","slug":"how-carbon-insurance-is-pricing-climate-risk","published_at":"2026-06-13T20:02:24+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-carbon-insurance-is-pricing-climate-risk","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0049.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0049.mp3","summary":"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","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna dive into the emerging market for carbon insurance—policies that protect carbon credit buyers if the underlying offsets fail to deliver pro…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":647,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/episodes/how-carbon-insurance-is-pricing-climate-risk/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-carbon-insurance-is-pricing-climate-risk.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
