This episode in our adaptation series focuses climate change’s implications on the
insurance industry. Claudine Blamey, Group Director of Sustainability at Aviva, describes
how climate change evokes both transition risks and physical risks for insurance companies,
and affects how insurance companies are assessing and pricing risk in their underwriting
process, and influences their investment strategy. Claudine also describes innovative
insurance products such as parametric and catastrophe insurance that are emerging
to address natural disasters that are exacerbated by climate change. For resources

Transforming a Region: Gothenburg’s path from Shipyards to E-Mobility

- Case
The case profiles the economic development of the Gothenburg region in Western Sweden, and the efforts of the regional economic development agency. During this period the region’s traditionally strong automotive cluster started to transform towards e-mobility technologies. The case discusses the role of Business Region Göteborg (BRG), the regional economic development agency, in this process. The case includes exhibits with some key facts about the regional economy, the institutions engaged in economic development in the region, and the structure of BRG.

- Teaching Material
This TN provides guidance on how to leverage the case on Gothenburg's economic evolution and the role of the regional economic development agency in this process. Gothenburg is an old industrial city that has been hit by a number of deep shocks in its history. Its core automotive industry is now facing the transition to e-mobility. The region has so far done quite well, and its economy is performing strongly. BRG, the regional economic development agency, is looking at its role in supporting these dynamics, having limited financial resources but many relationships to build on.
