Coping with climate change: risks and opportunities for insurers - foreword and executive summary

This detailed report talks about climate change and how the insurance industry can adapt and mitigate the associated risks. It comprises 18 chapters exploring the science of climate change, the types of risks that could emerge across different types of insurance clients, and how these risks implicate virtually all aspects of insurance and financial services.

This is the CII Group's third report on this subject (the previous ones were published in 1994 and 2001), and is edited by Dr Andrew Dlugolecki who formerly participated on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which received a Nobel Peace Prize.
