Abstract

This book chapter explores the pivotal role of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), in addressing climate change adaptation challenges through sustainable finance and insurance. As climate change intensifies, its impacts on ecosystems and human livelihoods, especially in developing countries reliant on agriculture, are becoming increasingly severe. The chapter highlights the alarming rise in climate-related disasters and stresses the urgent need for innovative response strategies. Sustainable finance is essential for directing investments toward projects that promote environmental sustainability and social equity. Emerging technologies, including AI, are instrumental in enhancing the effectiveness of these financial solutions by providing data-driven insights, predictive modelling, and real-time risk assessment. AI can optimise resource allocation and identify sustainable investment opportunities, ensuring capital is directed to initiatives that build resilience against climate impacts. Additionally, the chapter examines how technology can revolutionise insurance mechanisms, offering advanced analytics for improved risk assessment and tailored insurance products that address the unique needs of vulnerable communities. By leveraging AI and technology, insurers can enhance pricing models and expedite claims processing, ensuring timely financial support during climate-related events. Through the integration of sustainable finance, insurance, and cutting-edge technology, this chapter advocates for a holistic approach to combating the multifaceted challenges of climate change. This coordinated strategy aims to empower communities, reduce vulnerability, and promote a sustainable and equitable future for all amidst an evolving climate landscape.
