Interviews - Catlin tackles climate change head on
Source: Asia Insurance Review | Sep 2009
In recent years, curbing climate change has ranked high on the agenda of global policymakers and is being sown into corporate and social fabrics. Much has been done, yet more research and action is needed to combat its future debilitating effects – where the Asian region will be one of the most affected. The Catlin Arctic Survey, the brainchild of Mr Pen Hadow, its Director and Lead Explorer, aims to measure the sea ice and is set to “make more accurate the last 40 years of data”, in a bid to uncover how long the Arctic ice will last. We speak with him about the importance of this expedition and also talk to Mr Mark Newman, CEO, Catlin Asia Pacific, about the Group’s decision to be the lead sponsor and its contribution to creating greater awareness of possible climate change.
