Climate Chance Europe Africa 2025 Summit

The insurance sector facing climate risks

Description

Climate disasters are becoming more frequent and severe, putting increasing pressure on the insurance industry to rethink its business model.

How can the sector evolve while maintaining risk-sharing and collective solidarity, the foundations of insurance? How should funding be allocated between damage compensation and risk prevention? Could a more effective European approach help build a more resilient and inclusive framework?
