Francesco and Emma sit down with Chris Slater, CEO of Oka – The Carbon Insurance Company (https://carboninsurance.co/) to explore one of the biggest questions in climate finance: can insurance restore trust in carbon credits?

In this episode we unpack:

  • The voluntary carbon market and why credibility is under pressure

  • How carbon insurance works to manage financial, performance, and reputational risks

  • The rise of certification risks and lessons from recent carbon offset scandals

  • What’s next for the carbon market: from government involvement to the potential impact of a carbon tax

If you’re interested in carbon credits, offsets, climate finance, or the future of carbon markets, this conversation will help you understand how risk management tools like insurance may close the credibility gap.
