WATCH: AXIS' energy innovation lead discusses the insurance industry's position on the 'front line' of climate change, and the sector's role in enabling climate innovation

Joe Dutton, AXIS' energy innovation lead, formed part of a panel of speakers at BusinessGreen's recent Net Zero Festival 2024 who explored how the insurance sector is helping to enable the net zero transition, and how it can play a role beyond "picking up the tab when things go wrong".

Following that discussion, Dutton sat down with BusinessGreen analyst Stuart Stone to discuss his main takeaways from the Net Zero Festival, how insurance can drive tech innovation, and the challenge of keeping pace with the energy transition.

Their conversation can be watched back in full below.

While this year's event may have drawn to a close, BusinessGreen is working on a calendar of events for 2025 - sign up here to stay in the loop.
