We’re live! In the latest episode of the Earth Observed podcast, host Sam Warwick sits down with Bilal Hussein, co-founder and CEO at Artio, the startup building the world’s first early-stage carbon insurance product just as the market hits a critical inflexion point. They unpack why risk is choking off finance to promising climate projects, how insurance can unlock billions in stalled capital, and the role of AI-driven risk modelling in giving investors the confidence to move faster. Bilal shares his journey from Bloomberg ESG and carbon ratings to founding Arteo, the importance of geospatial intelligence and earth observation in underwriting, and why community-led wildfire risk analysis is essential for protecting places like Dartmoor and the Brecon Beacons. If you care about the future of carbon markets, climate finance, or how insurance quietly underpins breakthrough climate solutions, this conversation is a must-listen.
