Webinar - Extreme Weather and the Insurance Industry

The odds are pretty high that you know someone who has personally been impacted by Superstorm Sandy, record droughts in the American Midwest, or forest fires in the West. These extreme weather events, exacerbated by climate change, have literally cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Now, imagine what would happen if there was no insurance to offset the damage and set businesses and homeowners whole again.

The webinar will take place this Friday, March 22 at 12 p.m. EDT. This exclusive webinar will include Mindy Lubber, the CEO of Ceres, who will discuss a groundbreaking study revealing that most insurers are not prepared for climate change. Without insurance, the cost of inaction on climate change becomes even more acute, and carries deep implications for our economy.

Mindy Lubber also directs Ceres’ Investor Network on Climate Risk (INCR), a group of 100 institutional investors managing nearly $10 trillion in assets focused on the business risks and opportunities of climate change.
