New Green Credit Insurance Unlocks Investment for Climate Projects
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: Carbon insurer Oka has launched green credit insurance that accelerates investment in climate transition projects by providing risk coverage for a wide range of sustainable financing instruments.
📈 One key stat: Oka’s new insurance covers financing for climate solutions that require long-tenor risk coverage, addressing a critical market gap that has been preventing capital flow into innovative decarbonization efforts.
💬 One key quote: “Expanding our proposition to a broader sustainable finance remit is a natural evolution for Oka,” said Chris Slater, Oka’s Founder & CEO.
1️⃣ The big picture: Carbon insurer Oka has expanded its offerings with a new green credit insurance product designed to accelerate investment in climate transition initiatives. The expanded coverage goes beyond carbon insurance to include a comprehensive suite of financial instruments like pre-payments for carbon credits, green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and credit guarantees for climate projects. Operating through Lloyd’s syndicate 1922, Oka leverages AI and data analytics to provide sophisticated underwriting services. This new product aims to reduce project risk and attract private finance to clean technologies essential for reaching global net-zero targets.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This insurance innovation tackles a major barrier in climate finance by providing security for investors backing essential decarbonization projects. Financial institutions can now extend longer-term financing with reduced risk, creating a multiplier effect that channels more private capital toward climate solutions. The broader range of covered instruments – from carbon credit pre-payments to sustainability-linked loans – means more diverse climate initiatives can secure funding. By combining AI-powered analytics with sector expertise, Oka’s approach brings both technological sophistication and practical knowledge to risk assessment, improving the efficiency and reliability of climate finance.
3️⃣ What’s next: Oka has appointed James Morrell as Head of Credit Underwriting to strengthen its expanded services. With his 18 years of experience in credit and political risk from firms like HDI Global Specialty SE and Beazley, Morrell brings valuable expertise to the team. The company plans to continue removing barriers to investment in sustainable projects while scaling climate finance globally.
