Climate Risk Management in the U.S. Insurance Sector
July 27, 2023, 2pm ET
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.
Building off a report release on Tuesday, July 25, join Ceres and key stakeholders for a webinar reviewing the first comprehensive analysis of insurers’ responses. The report encourages improvement in the comprehensiveness of climate-related disclosures in future years, and provide insights that may be valuable to insurance regulators and other stakeholders. New speakers added including California Department of Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara and Connecticut Insurance Department Commissioner Andrew Mais. |
