On November 4, 2021, at COP26 in Glasgow, ClimateWise and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) launched "Risk Sharing in the Climate Emergency." The event convened senior representatives from insurance, regulators, and governments to discuss their collective roles in addressing the global climate challenge.

The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) and ClimateWise, working with industry and policymakers, presented actionable recommendations. These aim to urgently expand risk sharing and insurance systems, providing a pathway to immediately quantify, manage, and reduce climate risks.

The recommendations also advocate for integrating climate policy and regulation. This ensures finance supports a resilient, net-zero, and just transition for all economies, both emerging and developed.

Endangered Blanding's turtle hatchlings begin their journey into the wild. These turtles can live 80 years, but their population is critically threatened by predation, disease, habitat destruction, and human collection.

In 2011, a Center petition secured CITES protection for Blanding's turtles. The Center, joined by renowned scientists like E.O. Wilson, further petitioned in 2012 for U.S. Endangered Species Act protection for the turtle and 52 other threatened amphibians and reptiles.

While not yet federally protected in the U.S., Blanding's turtles are safeguarded by state laws in several states.
