Climate Risk Management in the U.S. Insurance Sector
July 27, 2023
Online
In 2022, 15 U.S. state insurance regulators implemented the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Climate Risk Disclosure Survey, receiving responses from over 1500 companies representing over 80% of the U.S. insurance market. While some states have been administering a version of the Climate Risk Disclosure Survey for over a decade, 2021 marked the first iteration in which the questions were aligned with the prompts from the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations on climate risk reporting.
Ceres and the California Department of Insurance, the largest U.S. state insurance regulator, are hosting a webinar on an upcoming report that reviewed and analyzed present findings from insurance company responses to the NAIC’s 2021 TCFD-aligned Climate Risk Disclosure Surveys. This report represents the first comprehensive attempt to review and describe the contents of the insurance sector’s TCFD-aligned Climate Risk Disclosure Survey Responses. The purpose of the report is to encourage improvement in the comprehensiveness of climate-related disclosures in future years, and provide insights that may be valuable to insurance regulators and other stakeholders. |
