Narrowing the Protection Gap: Climate Change and the Public Sector

Evolution of more resilient risk transfer solutions
As our climate continues to change, the number and severity of significant disasters is projected to increase. The disaster burden not only strains individuals, but governments as well. Disaster risk financing and public-private partnerships can open new opportunities to unlock risk capital and expand risk transfer solutions. Partnering is key for tackling the most pressing challenges of the day and new thinking by insurance professionals, capital providers, policymakers, and regulators is needed to create win-win arrangements. In this episode of Fo[RE]sight, Guy Carpenter experts Joe Becker and Ruth Lux discuss climate change impacts on the public sector, facilitating risk transfer through resilience, and how insurance professionals can help address growing protection gaps.

In response, global commitments to tackle environmental degradation are increasing.
