Abstract
Climate change is accompanied by an increase in both the frequency and severity of natural disasters. The proposed solutions to address these challenges also carry their own set of associated risks. The insurance sector is therefore naturally positioned to play a leading role, drawing on centuries of experience in managing all types of risks and continually pushing the boundaries of insurability through ever more effective strategies.
This paper aims to demonstrate that the sector could develop innovative solutions in partnership with public authorities, for the benefit of all.
