Climate Crisis Threatens Insurance Industry: A Growing Concern

wildfiresfloodingclimate crisisinsurance industrydisaster insurance

The climate crisis is posing a significant threat to the insurance industry, with natural disasters becoming more frequent and severe. In California, wildfires have caused billions of dollars in damages, leading to soaring insurance premiums and companies pulling out of the state. In the UK, the risks of flooding are increasing, putting properties and lives at risk. While some initiatives, like Flood Re, have been put in place to address these issues, there is still a long way to go in finding a sustainable solution. The future of disaster insurance is under threat all over, and the consequences for homeowners, the financial system, and where humans can live will be profound if nothing changes.

stormweatherpower outagestransportationemergency

Widespread power outages continue in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland, with some areas facing several days without electricity. Storm Éowyn brought hurricane-force winds, snow, and ice, damaging buildings and blocking roads. Over a million homes, farms, and businesses were left without power, and some may not have electricity restored for up to 10 days. Fallen trees and debris pose a danger on roads, and public transport is slowly resuming. Emergency contact information is provided for those affected.

On Sunday, a new storm, Herminia, is forecast to bring incessant rain, gales, and hill snow, but it will not be as powerful as Éowyn. The damaged infrastructure, however, increases the risk of further damage.
