Climate Action

Generali has attended the New York Climate Week for the first time in 2024 to co-host, together with the Permanent Mission of Italy to the United Nations and the support of UNDP, an event dedicated to building the resilience of global supply chains and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

Focus was on exploring the intersection of sustainability, entrepreneurship and resilience in a context of rising climate risks through knowledge exchange, discussing actionable initiatives with the potential to pave the way for a resilient and climate-smart future for all.

Generali shares the commitment to sustainability and the objectives of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP) to protect climate and the environment. The Group reaffirms its role by actively contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and supporting a more sustainable economy and society through climate adaptation strategies and the net-zero transition.

In 2023, Generali participated for the first time in the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai, taking part in a series of conferences and bilateral meetings and organizing the side event "Accelerating SMEs' resilience in a world of growing climate change" together with the Insurance and Risk Finance Facility (IRFF) of UNDP.

As part of the broader partnership between Generali and UNDP, the aim of the event was to create awareness and enabling a solution-focused discussion with Italian, EU, and international institutions to promote sustainable development and climate adaptation for SMEs around the world, and mostly for those in vulnerable countries.
