Supervisory Dialogues
Climate risk insurance for the underserved and vulnerable: What is the role of insurance supervisors to foster its responsible development? – A2ii-IAIS Consultation Call
Climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of natural disasters, and the poor and vulnerable segments of the population are the most affected. Insurance, as a piece of the disaster risk management puzzle, plays a vital role in building resilience and protecting individuals and communities against disasters. The regulatory and supervisory environment contributes greatly in enabling innovative ways and mechanisms to reduce the climate insurance protection gap. Supervisors are well-placed to stimulate action that can strengthen resilience against climatic risks.
The next A2ii-IAIS consultation call will take place on 30 January 2020 and will be based on the A2ii’s thematic report: the role of insurance supervisors in climate risk insurance. This consultation call will provide highlights from the thematic report, and through looking at country case studies explore the role of insurance supervisors in building resilience and reducing the protection gap with respect to climate risks.
The call will be held again in three different languages - English, French and Spanish at the following times:
