As climate change and the associated increase in natural catastrophe events alters the contemporary risk landscape, there is now an opportunity for companies to partner with the (re)insurance market and put its expertise to work.
According to a recent survey of hundreds of business executives and thought leaders, many are taking the right steps to reach their goals. However a range of factors threaten to disrupt progress, including a lack of attention to risk, issues developing consistent resilience, financial disclosures such as those recommended by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and a general need for greater expertise.
