About this webinar
Europe is facing a rising tide of catastrophe risks: increasing floods, severe convective storms (SCS), and wildfires, alongside persistent earthquake exposure across the Mediterranean and the ongoing threat of major windstorms. At the same time, a rapidly evolving policy landscape, including emerging mandatory nat cat insurance schemes at both national and EU levels, is reshaping the opportunities and challenges for insurers.
This webinar brings together leading voices in risk modelling, insurance markets and policy development to examine how Europe can better anticipate, quantify and manage these growing risks.
Drawing on current market insights and technical expertise, our speakers will explore:
- The latest trends in flood, SCS, windstorm and wildfire risk across Europe
- How climate volatility is shifting risk and where the most significant changes are occurring
- The development and maturity of insurance markets across the region
- The state of risk modelling and data availability and whether Europe is being adequately served
- Innovative tools, regional challenges and practical strategies for closing the gap between rising risk levels and the ability to write and transfer risk with confidence
The discussion will provide a clear, grounded view of how insurers, modellers and policymakers can navigate a more complex and volatile risk environment.
