English term or phrase: to hedge on the environment

Some people even argue the ethics of **hedging on the environment** the way that we would interest rates...
I suppose it should mean something along the lines of "betting", but are there any finance-gurus out there who can phrase this nicely in German?

If it's in connection with insurances it might also be
***Absicherung gegen Umweltschäden**. However, I prefer my fist suggestion.

just a reference:

Ein Hedgegeschäft gegen die Umwelt abschließen

Explanation:
um die reine Absicherung kann es nicht gehen, das ist sicher NICHT unethisch, es geht darum, mit Umweltrisiken zu spekulieren. DAS ist auch ein denkmöglicher Markt .
