The re/insurance industry has the power to effectively mitigate global flood risk—if it works closely with governments and other key stakeholders.
This was one of the main takeaways from a panel discussion “Plugging the flood gap: risks and opportunities for re/insurers”. The discussion took place on Intelligent Insurer’s Re/insurance Lounge, an online platform where interviews and panel discussions are available on demand.
The event featured Maryam Golnaraghi, director, climate change and emerging environmental topics, The Geneva Association; Steve Bowen, director & meteorologist, head of catastrophe insight, impact forecasting, Aon; Matt Junge, head property solutions US & Canada, Swiss Re; Avi Baruch, chief operating officer, Previsico; Nigel Brook, partner, Clyde & Co; and David McNeil, associate director, sustainable finance, Fitch Ratings.
