Insurance industry workers: how is climate-related risk managed in your company?
The article invites people working in insurance to explain how their companies manage climate-related risk. It raises concerns that staff analysing risks from natural disasters may face pressure to understate potential losses, which could affect how accurately risks are assessed and priced.
It asks modellers, actuaries, underwriters and other industry workers for details about their company’s approach and their views on current premiums. Responses may be anonymous; the publisher says it will contact contributors before publishing submissions and that contact details will only be seen by its staff.
