Overview: This article presents the business case for insurer involvement in the sustainable energy sector and documents early case studies of insurer efforts along these lines. The paper maps these opportunities onto the appropriate market segments. It reviews steps taken by 53 forward-looking insurers and reinsurers, 5 brokers, 7 insurance organizations, and 13 non-insurance organizations. It groups the approaches into the categories of information, education, and demonstration; financial incentives; specialized policies and insurance products; direct investment; customer services and inspections; codes, standards, and policies; research and development; in-house energy management; and an emerging concept informally known as ''carbon insurance''.
