Climate Change
and its Economic Impact on Insurance
(CC+I)
Director: Walter Stahel
Deputy Director: Ryochi Nakai
At the General Assembly of The Geneva Association (Hamilton/Bermuda, 28-31 May 2008) more than 40 CEOs of leading insurance and reinsurance companies decided to launch a new research project on climate change and its economic impact on insurance (CC+I). This project reflects one of the key long-term priority areas of The Geneva Association.
The objectives of this new research project of The Geneva Association are to identify and analyse:
■ issues that are of specific relevance to the insurance industry, such as the likely range of future claims costs, new business opportunities and scenario testing; and
■ external challenges to be addressed at the political, educational and social levels, such as the role of government specific provisions concerning e.g. building codes, zoning restrictions, etc.
A special report on CC+I is currently under production by a dedicated team of researchers and insurance experts. It is scheduled to be presented at The Geneva Association’s 36th General Assembly in Kyoto in May 2009, which is the world’s leading gathering of CEOs from the largest insurance and reinsurance companies. The research findings will also be presented at the World Climate Conference in Copenhagen in early December 2009.
In addition, the July 2009 issue of The Geneva Papers – a leading journal on strategic issues in insurance and risk management – will be devoted to the topic of climate change and insurance. This builds on previous efforts by The Geneva Association to highlight and advance thinking on CC+I (such as the special issue of The Geneva Papers of January 2008). See the Call for papers.

This matrix (or map) which is meant as a guideline for the research economist when sorting out the existing information is proposed and submitted for discussion. Its objective is to ease the identification of well researched areas versus white spots on the map.
