The new entity that has recently been established under the Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS) umbrella is the Insurance Innovation Lab for Climate Resilience (InnoCRI), a $29 million insurance-based financing mechanism launched by GCAS to help finance climate change resilience in developing countries. At the time of the launch, we knew that InnoCRI would be a key part of GCAS and its goal of creating an “insurance-based financing mechanism” to support resilience to climate change in developing countries. We also knew that the program will have an impact on private insurance market by providing technical assistance and training for insurers, reinsurers and other financial institutions to understand risks associated with climate change as well as how insurance can be used as tool for mitigating these risks.

Overcoming the Sustainability Obstacle

- by Gabriela Wilson

The world is changing. The way we live, work, and interact with each other is shifting. We are becoming more aware of our impact on the planet and how that impacts ourselves and future generations. In order to continue thriving as a species, we need to think about sustainability – not only of the environment but also of our businesses. The problem is that many companies have yet to embrace this new paradigm shift. They are stuck in old ways of thinking and behaving when it comes to business practices. This article will explore what the Sustainability Obstacle is, why so many companies are not adopting sustainable practices, and how best overcome this obstacle for your own organization’s success when it comes to using sustainable practices in your business operations

The Sustainability Obstacle is a barrier to sustainable business practices.

The Sustainability Obstacle is a barrier to sustainable business practices. It’s what stops companies from adopting sustainable practices, even when they know they should. The Sustainability Obstacle is different for every company, but it usually has something to do with one or more of these issues:

  • Costs
  • Resources (human and otherwise)
  • Time commitments

Incorporating Blockchain into Your Supply Chain

- by Gabriela Wilson

Blockchain is a powerful tool that can help you maintain a more transparent and accountable supply chain. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that allows for the secure storage of transaction data, which makes it ideal for supply chain management. This article will explain how this technology works and how it can help improve your business processes.

What is blockchain?

Blockchain is a digital ledger of transactions. That sounds like a pretty basic description, but it’s important to understand what this means in order to understand how blockchain can be used in your supply chain and why it’s so powerful.

Blockchain is a distributed database that is shared among many different parties and can be used to record transactions of any kind. The information on the blockchain cannot be easily modified or deleted because of its decentralized nature; there are multiple copies of each block in every computer connected to the network (known as nodes), so if one copy were tampered with, all other copies would still contain valid information about that particular block. Blockchain also ensures that all participants have access only to their own data–they cannot see other people’s records unless they have permission from those individuals or entities involved in these transactions.

How can blockchain benefit the supply chain?

Blockchain can benefit supply chains in a number of ways.

  • It can help you track the movement of goods. Blockchain allows companies to track their products as they move through their supply chains, which is especially useful when

How To Make Money In Commercial Real Estate

- by Gabriela Wilson

If you’re looking for a way to invest your money, commercial real estate is an excellent option. It’s easy to understand and has a low barrier to entry, but can still produce good returns.

Here are some tips on how to make money in commercial real estate:

Spotting undervalued properties

To find undervalued properties, you must first be aware of the market. The two most important factors are location and demand.

  • If a property is in high demand, it’s likely to be priced higher than its actual value. For example, if you buy a house in a trendy neighborhood that has been experiencing rapid growth over the past few years but hasn’t yet hit its peak price point, then selling this house could net you a profit if done correctly–even though it may not be worth as much as other houses in more expensive areas of town.
  • Similarly, if there are only three units left on an apartment building where all other units have long leases (or no leases at all), then those three apartments might be worth more than all others combined simply because they’re harder to come by and thus have less competition from renters who want them!

Finding a local broker you can trust

Finding a local broker is one of the most important steps in building your commercial real estate business. A good local broker will be able to help you find and purchase properties, negotiate on your behalf and advise you on how to keep …
