WEF und Allianz White Paper:

A Roadmap to Resilience in a Warming World

Extreme heat is a growing threat that impacts health, productivity and infrastructure. By 2035, extreme heat is projected to cause $2.4 trillion in annual productivity losses and $448 billion in annual fixed-asset losses for publicly listed companies.

The current approach to build resilience is not adequate. 88 percent of financial resources are spent on post-event measures, while the focus needs to be on resilience measures against extreme weather events.

 

At Allianz, we want to provide our customers with solutions that strengthen their resilience and help them adapt and prepare for climate change. Our collaboration with the World Economic Forum on the white paper "Insuring Against Extreme Heat: Navigating Risks in a Warming World" is a reflection of our work. It entails a comprehensive roadmap that outlines a multi-faceted approach to addressing the impacts and causes of extreme heat.
