Launched in 2020, SERI (Standard for Environment, Risk and Insurance) is a UKRI, Climate-KIC and industry funded programme bringing partner organisations and leading institutions to bridge the data gaps between finance and climate change. Its ambition is to build the shared data infrastructure that will underpin and enable a transition to a green economy, and to a green financial system. For Q&A, please see the SERI FAQ.
The SERI aim is to create a clear, impactful and detailed data governance framework (the Standard for Environment, Risk and Insurance) that enables government, businesses, consumers and 3rd party developers to understand the potential of sector-wide data sharing in insurance to develop climate-ready financial products. Using industry-defined use cases to frame user needs, it will detail the steps to implementation in the UK and empower decision-makers to mandate, measure and act upon the data-flows that enable Net Zero.
