London | The global insurance industry is at a 'tipping point' on climate change and within two years will be pushing companies much harder to take action – and that could include Adani Mining, warns ex-QBE chief John Neal, now CEO of the insurance market Lloyd’s of London.

Mr Neal sounded the warning during an interview with The Australian Financial Review in London, where he also canvassed the other challenges facing the world's largest insurance market and the insurers who use it: Brexit; the next wave of technology and complex risk; and the need to stamp out the lingering stain of sexual harassment.
