Current forecasts suggest that these markets will continue to be areas of significant growth over the coming decade.<\/p>\n<p>We consider how climate change may influence these trends in the period to 2030.<\/p>\n<p>We suggest five pathways of influence:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Economic growth;<\/li>\n<li>Willingness to pay for insurance;<\/li>\n<li>Public policy and regulation;<\/li>\n<li>The insurability of natural catastrophe risks, and;<\/li>\n<li>New opportunities associated with adaptation and greenhouse gas mitigation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We conclude that, with the exception of public policy and regulation, the influence of climate change on insurance demand to 2030 is likely to be small when compared with the expected growth due to rising incomes. The scale of the impacts and their direction depend to some extent on (re)insurer responses to the challenges of climate change. We outline five actions that could pave the way for future opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Nicola Ranger and Swenja Surminski<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>Working Paper 63 Abstract Over the past decade, growth in insurance demand in the BRICS economies has been a key&hellip;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[816,65],"publication-type":[435],"topic_area":[4692,4707],"class_list":["post-3960","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","tag-brics","tag-insurance","publication-type-working-papers","topic_area-adaptation-and-resilience","topic_area-sustainable-development"],"acf":{"downloads":{"ref_value":"field_52f16cc1a80f2","value":["https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/granthaminstitute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/WP63_climate-change-non-life-insurance.pdf"],"type":"download","post_type":""},"profile_link":{"ref_value":"field_52f164b5189e9","value":["nicola-ranger","swenja-surminski"],"type":"relationship","post_type":"profile"},"spotlight":{"ref_value":"field_52f80896506d3","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"exclude_from_sync":{"ref_value":"field_560538b0e7350","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"rss_newsletter":{"ref_value":"field_54f5c2c1544d8","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"show_translations_widget":{"ref_value":"field_6203d588c41e8","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
