Natural catastrophes have increased in both frequency and intensity across the country. The result has been a greater threat from wildfires, hurricanes, flooding and extreme weather year-round.
Verisk Maplecroft's Environmental Risk Outlook examines the expanding risks associated with these events and their impact on the insurance industry. The long-term effect will be global, affecting not only the U.S. economy but those in Japan, China, the U.K., Germany and other countries.
In the latest Insurance Speak podcast, Will Nichols, who heads Verisk Maplecroft's global environmental and climate change research team, and Bill Churney, president of AIR Worldwide and responsible for setting global strategy and overseeing the company's worldwide operations, discuss the risk outlook report, some of its findings and their impact on the insurance industry. Both AIR and Verisk Maplecroft are owned by Verisk.
