About this Event

🌍 Facing the Future:
Dive into the challenges posed by extreme weather events and explore innovative risk modeling solutions.

🔍 Explore Key Areas:

  • The Challenge of Insurability: Engage in lively discussions on current model limitations.

🔑 Key Questions for Discussion:

  1. Preparing for the Future: Are we ready for plausible worst-case scenarios, beyond historical data?
  2. Modeling Extreme Correlations: What are the barriers to adopting multi-hazard simulations?
  3. Urban Climate Modeling: How can we improve accuracy when modeling urban infrastructure impacts?
  4. Downscaled Models and Precision: Do downscaled models withstand scrutiny, and how do we manage uncertainty in scaling?
  5. Balancing Short and Long-term Cycles: How can insurers reconcile short pricing cycles with long-term climate projections?
  6. Valuing Nature-based Solutions: Can we quantify the financial benefits of nature-based solutions for pricing adjustments?
  7. Public-Private Risk Solutions: At what point does risk-based pricing lead to market failure, and what alternatives exist?
