Safeguarding Home Insurance: Reducing exposure and vulnerability to extreme weather

About

Join us for a deep dive into the findings of our latest report, Safeguarding Home Insurance: Reducing exposure and vulnerability to extreme weather. We’ll examine how factors beyond climate change – including land zoning, urbanisation, ageing infrastructure, outdated building codes, and inflation – are driving rising economic and insured losses from extreme weather events.

Property and casualty (P&C) insurers play a critical role in supporting resilience and recovery, but growing exposure and vulnerability at the property and local levels are influenced by the decisions of various stakeholders across society. Increasingly, insurance availability and affordability are challenged by insufficient risk-reduction efforts and regulatory pricing constraints.

This webinar will explore the importance of risk-based insurance pricing, how stakeholder actions can make an impact, and a two-tiered approach to boosting resilience: scaling proven local measures through an all-of-society effort, and making structural changes, in particular in valuation and mortgage systems, to incentivise behavioural change.

Learn why tackling rising risks requires collective action – and why insurers cannot do it alone.
