Climate Risk and Sustainability in Re/insurance Europe 2023 | Newton Media Group | 6 June 2023 | America Square Conference Centre, 17, One Crosswall, America Square, London EC3N 2LB, UK

According to Aon’s 2021 “Weather, Climate and Catastrophe Insight Report” the insurance industry suffered $345 billion of losses in 2021, $329 billion of which resulted from weather and climate- related events. And climate change means this is only going to increase.

Meanwhile, research published last year by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) leaves no doubt: climate change is unequivocal, unprecedented and irreversible.

The challenges of understanding, measuring and implementing sustainability and environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors are right at the forefront of re/insurers’ strategic thinking and decision-making. This new landscape presents colossal risks as well as unique opportunities.

It’s not just about underwriting: insurers are now being judged by how they limit climate change and environmental risks, address carbon emissions, assess ESG credentials of their clients, provide inclusive products and services to mitigate client risk and increase transparency and accountability in governance structures.
