Sid Jha: Founder & CEO, Arbol: Bringing efficiency, transparency and access to climate risk transfer (208)

Arbol provides parametric climate and weather risk management solutions for sectors such as agriculture, energy, maritime and hospitality.

Talking points include:

• Insuring cotton gins against low yields
• Combining parametric and traditional property insurance in Florida
• Applying parametric triggers to reinsurance on an individual property level
• How Arbol’s parametric captive programme offers analytics and insurance to corporates
