Climate Change's Impact on Home Insurance Premiums
Wildfires and floods are forcing insurers to redraw risk maps across continents as climate change fundamentally alters the landscape of property insurance coverage and pricing.
Some regions are seeing 300% premium increases while others become uninsurable as traditional actuarial models fail to predict the frequency and severity of climate-related disasters in our rapidly changing world.
New parametric insurance models offer hope for climate-vulnerable communities by providing rapid payouts based on measurable weather events rather than traditional damage assessments, potentially revolutionizing disaster recovery.
