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":"Why Corporations Are Buying Green Insurance Policies","slug":"why-corporations-are-buying-green-insurance-policies","published_at":"2026-06-27T19:21:18+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/why-corporations-are-buying-green-insurance-policies","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-0077.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0077.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna explore a fast-growing shift in corporate climate strategy: green insurance. They break down why companies from manufacturers to airlines are now buying policies that cover carbon credit invalidation, regulatory penalties, and supply chain disruptions tied to climate risk. Drawing on data from a 2026 Marsh report showing a 40% jump in green insurance premiums to $2.3 billion, they examine the specific clauses, pricing models, and market forces driving this trend. The episode uses the example of a fictional Midwest steel plant to illustrate how a green insurance policy might work in practice — from audit triggers to payout scenarios. Lucas explains the role of re-insurers like Swiss Re in underwriting these policies, while Luna questions whether this is genuine risk transfer or just a new form of greenwashing. They also consider the feedback loop: as more corporations buy coverage, insurers demand stricter emissions verification, which in turn pressures suppliers to clean up. The conversation ends with the hosts reflecting on whether green insurance might become a de facto requirement for doing business in certain sectors by 2030. #GreenInsurance #ClimateRisk #CarbonCredits #InsuranceMarket #CorporateSustainability #RiskManagement #SupplyChain #RegulatoryRisk #SwissRe #MarshReport #EmissionsVerification #Greenwashing #TransitionRisk #CarbonMarkets #Economics #ClimateEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna explore a fast-growing shift in corporate climate strategy: green insurance.
