Positioning for Resilience: How Insurers Can Lead Through Climate Risk Uncertainty

Climate change is no longer a distant threat, it is already reshaping the landscape in which insurance companies operate, affecting both the asset and liability sides of their balance sheets. Nearly all market and underwriting risks that are relevant to insurers today are, in some way, linked to the evolving climate landscape.
At the same time, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting requirements are expanding rapidly in both scope and complexity. Compounding this challenge, recent geopolitical developments have added further layers of uncertainty, making the ESG landscape increasingly difficult to navigate.

In our presentation, we will explore the following key topics:

• Climate change–induced market risks: How insurers can quantify these risks and contribute meaningfully to the green transition as major institutional investors.
• The role of Machine Learning and Generative AI: How advanced technologies can support climate risk assessment and decision-making.
• Anticipating future developments: How insurers can prepare for potential changes in carbon pricing and adapt to geopolitical volatility.
