Climate change impacts are mounting across the world, and it has been difficult to watch. From cloud bursts, to drought, to stronger hurricanes, and longer heat waves, the economic and public health impacts are mounting and costing us all a lot more. The 2025 California wildfires alone are estimated to have cost $250B.
How do insurance companies factor in climate change? How do they incur rising associated costs? How do these rising impacts affect major project siting and development?
For this episode Chris was joined by Justin Roth (Associate Director - Catastrophe Analytics, Howden Re) and Michael Perron (Renewable Energy Market Lead, FM Renewable Energy). Justin and Mike offer a ton of great info in this episode but one of the key takeaways is that climate change is costing us more, no matter where you live, but proactively insuring for projected increased risk in your areas can be a really smart play. Rising insurance costs is also a major climate justice issue that does not get enough attention.
