Insurance is crucial to adapt to the risks of climate change and its consequences, which often result in natural catastrophes and extreme hydrometeorological events, directly affecting the insurance sector. In this context, the industry must adopt measures to assess risk changes. It must manage and seek solutions that minimise damage, strengthen society's resilience, and play a key role in mitigating climate change.
