Description: This report examines weather conditions for daily maximum and minimum temperature (TMAX and TMIN), inland storm activity from wind, hail and tornadoes, record precipitation, tropical cyclone activity and the resultant flooding.

Description: This report highlights major weather stories that unfolded across the month of July 2020.

Description: The objective of this paper is to discuss the factors that affect and should be considered in the development of social discount rates, with a primary focus on social cost-benefit analyses of climate change-related strategies, programs, and investments involving mitigation and ex-ante adaption efforts.

Description: Climate change is occurring. As a result, insured and uninsured losses are increasing. Billion-dollar (CPI adjusted) disaster events have increased in each decade in which they have been tracked since 1980.

Description: "Our Climate Risk Modeling for Life actuaries session will discuss: - The history and future of climate regulations - Climate risk modeling 101 - intersection of short term and long term climate modeling - The role of the actuary in climate risk modeling - The impact actuaries can have globally"

Description: The Mortality and Longevity and Catastrophe and Climate Strategic Research Programs are pleased to make available a report summarizing an expert panel brought together to discuss the impact of wildfires on U.S. health and life insurers.

Description: The Society of Actuaries Research Institute’s Catastrophe and Climate Strategic Research Program is pleased to release the following essay exploring the Actuarial Role in addressing Severe Thunderstorm Risks.

Description: At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be equipped to apply relative risk curves in their actuarial work, including the ability to examine dose-response relationships, apply population attributable fractions (PAFs), and develop customized risk models for cause-specific mortality and morbidity outcomes based on individual-level exposures to selected risk factors. These skills are becoming increasingly important as actuaries adopt novel applications of big data and dynamic health information to refine risk assessments and keep pace with global health trends.

Description: A brief introduction to sustainability reporting for actuaries with no previous familiarity with it. The article focuses on UK insurance companies and gives a short overview of the reporting journey that UK insurance companies have been on, with the hope of smoothing the journey for others. The article briefly describes the development and adoption of the framework for sustainability reporting, and discusses some of the practical points and challenges encountered.

Description: This session will highlight the growing significance of climate risk for insurance companies, emphasizing how to prepare for regulatory requirements as well as the impacts on financial stability and operational resilience within the industry. Attendees will gain insights specifically addressing climate risk within insurance operations including enhancing governance structures, ensuring regulatory compliance, identifying and monitoring metrics and key risk indicators, and conducting scenario analyses. Through real-world case studies and perspectives from both life and P&C practitioners, participants will leave equipped with practical strategies to navigate the complexities of climate risk management, foster transparency and accountability, and effectively address the urgent challenges posed by climate risk within their organizations. Learning Objectives: - Understand the evolving landscape of climate risk and regulatory requirements for climate risk disclosure. - Gain insights into effective approaches and current best practices that actuaries and risk modelers may use in performing qualitative and quantitative climate risk scenario analyses. - Learn practical strategies for integrating climate risk considerations into insurance operations.
