Session overview
Objectives
The central policy challenge is no longer whether climate insurance protection gaps exist, but how Europe manages the growing boundary between insurable, hard-to-insure and uninsurable risks, and how responsibilities should be shared between markets, Member States and the EU. The debate on insurance protection gaps therefore sits at the heart of the EU’s broader reflection on climate resilience, fiscal sustainability and financial stability.
This roundtable aims to contribute to this reflection by examining how insurance solutions can evolve in line with the EU’s emerging climate resilience framework, how they interact with sectoral risk-mitigation policies and sustainable finance tools, and where coordinated EU action may be needed to complement national approaches and market solutions.
Points of discussion
- What role, limits and expectations for the insurance sector within the EU climate resilience framework?
- Insurability, public intervention and EU coordination: what are the main stress points to address?
