Insurers' Climate Oversight Gets Better As Impacts Get Worse, Study Shows

摘要

Property and life insurers such as Chubb Group and MetLife Group are getting better at overseeing risks posed by the effect of climate change on their clients and investments even as its impacts get worse. Some of their biggest gains in recent years have come in the governance of climate issues at the board and executive level, according to a Ceres review of disclosures to state regulators. Those gains weren't shared by health insurance companies, which Ceres says remain largely unprepared to address climate risks.
