| Climate change has rapidly moved from a purely theoretical discussion to very real extreme weather events and chronic climate impacts affecting nearly every corner of our planet. The insurance industry has responded to this crisis as a matter of necessity in a number of ways, including reduction of capacity in higher risk areas. As a result, businesses have had to assume greater portions of their exposure, and resiliency and adaptation to the effects of global warming have become more critical. At the same time, governments in multiple jurisdictions have begun to mandate certain businesses’ reporting on climate risks and greenhouse gas emissions. Risk managers therefore may be called upon not only to manage the increased risks of climate change but to provide reportable data to their compliance and enterprise risk management teams regarding exposures and strategies to mitigate.
