[Open Climate] Climate Insurance: Disaster Response, Resilience and What's next
Climate risk is scaling faster than traditional protection can keep up. Disaster losses are ballooning, humanitarian budgets are shrinking, and billions remain one cyclone away from ruin. It’s time to reboot insurance, finance, and response for an age of extremes.
