Climate risk disclosure is moving from voluntary best practice to regulatory expectation -- and insurers are uniquely positioned to lead this conversation.
Insurance companies sit at the intersection of climate risk in two ways: as underwriters of physical and transition risk, and as institutional investors with significant portfolio exposure to climate-affected assets. Both dimensions are increasingly subject to disclosure expectations.
Regulators in the U.S. and globally are developing frameworks that require carriers to quantify their climate-related exposures and explain how they are managing them. This is driving investment in scenario analysis and stress testing capabilities.
Carriers that build genuine climate risk analytics capabilities -- not just disclosure compliance -- will use those capabilities as a genuine competitive advantage in risk selection and product development.
