In the second episode of UNEP FI’s new podcast series Financing the future, we speak to Lesley Ndlovu, CEO of Africa Risk Capacity (ARC) and member of UNEP FI’s Leadership Council about how Africa is being affected by climate change, ways to manage climate risks and costs, and the role of insurers and the wider finance community in financing adaptation for a resilient future.
