14	What was the declaration of Duncan Strachan, Partner at DAC Beachcrof regarding Youth day at COP27?	"It is likely that climate activism will become more frequent, with an increased risk of turning violent when combined with other factors such as protests against inequality that we have seen at the centre of protests all over the world in recent years. The impact of climate change is already being felt on society and has been linked to an increased risk of civil unrest. Insurers need to be aware of this growing risk, particularly in areas most acutely affected by climate change, but there is an opportunity to work with governments and local businesses to help mitigate the risks"
