Le secteur des assurances fait face à des défis croissants liés aux risques climatiques. Les données assurantielles des dernières décennies témoignent d’une aggravation des événements climatiques, tels que les tempêtes, les inondations et les sécheresses. Cette situation soulève plusieurs questions majeures pour le secteur. La soutenabilité financière : L’augmentation des coûts des sinistres liés aux risques climatiques met en question la viabilité à long terme du régime d’indemnisation des catastrophes naturelles. L’assurabilité des risques : Certains assureurs sont tentés de se désengager des zones les plus à risques. Enfin L’adaptation des modèles d’évaluation : Les assureurs doivent revoir leurs stratégies et leurs modèles d’évaluation des risques pour mieux intégrer et gérer les risques climatiques.
