Nature Restoration & Conservation Insurance Initiative

SCOR’s Nature Restoration and Conservation Insurance Initiative offers innovative reinsurance solutions supporting nature-resilient projects that address climate change, food and water security, and sustainable agriculture. The flagship Ecological Restoration Insurance Solution aims to bridge financing gaps for restoration projects by de-risking investment opportunities for public and private stakeholders.

The solution comprises three products aligned with ecosystem recovery stages: “Restore” for initial recovery implementation, “Manage” for ongoing maintenance, and “Conserve” (forthcoming) for long-term integrity preservation. Developed in collaboration with the Society for Ecological Restoration, the initiative employs a standards-based due diligence process requiring projects to achieve a minimum “A” grade to qualify for coverage across diverse terrestrial biomes.
