Navigating Climate Challenges in Insurance
LOCATION
Brit Group Services Ltd
Floor 39
The Leadenhall Building
122 Leadenhall Street
London EC3V 4AB
Brief Summary
How should the difference between natural variability and climate change be quantified? How can climate model output be leveraged for analysis of future physical and transitional climate impacts? How can uncertainty be accurately quantified in climate model projections?
Join us in a pivotal roundtable discussion that brings together experts from academia and the insurance and catastrophe risk sectors to tackle these questions and more. This event, partnered with WTW and Brit Insurance and in collaboration with the CGFI, is a unique opportunity to systematically review, discuss, and contribute to the state of research and best practices of weather and climate data utilisation within the insurance sector.
In the initial registration phase, you will have the opportunity to specify your area of interest and expertise. This information will be instrumental in shaping the focus of discussion groups that will address specific global natural hazards throughout the event. Due to the limited capacity of this event, attendees will be selected to ensure a balance of perspectives in the discussion groups.
The Insurance Sector’s Challenge:
The insurance sector strives for a better understanding of the weather and climate risks influencing the exposure it insures. Diverse datasets are available to help achieve this, however often a lack of expert guidance and/or data relevance inhibit progress in this field. This event will address knowledge and data gaps that are most significant in inhibiting sectoral growth in this field.
Our Focus:
Insurance Sector Grand Challenges
Gaps in Knowledge, Partnership, and Collaboration
Developing Solutions for the Insurance and Academic Sectors
Each key theme will be explored in dedicated sessions at the event, with discussion focussed on aspects most pertinent to the insurance sector.
Outcomes and Opportunities:
Discussions from the event will feed into a number of published materials and therefore participation presents an exciting opportunity to contribute and shape the direction and needs of climate data analysis and research in the insurance sector.
