The modern business environment has shown greater awareness and proactive involvement towards the larger concern of sustainability and climate change. Through the development of numerous global practices, linkages to CSR initiatives and collaborative efforts across industry, there is a highly dynamic and exciting area developing having immense future potential.
Organizations have already started focusing on developing processes and systems to cater to energy efficiency and environmental management. In recent past, the world has also seen a sudden upsurge in various financial instruments to protect biodiversity. These include both environmental economics and the conservation movement.
Solutions like weather insurance and derivatives, carbon credits, energy derivatives are well rewarded and appreciated by corporates and governments all across the world. However, availability of trained cadre who can understand and design these innovative financial instruments has not been able to match with the growth in the environmental risk management market.
