Session overview
Objectives
The objectives of this roundtable are threefold. First, to assess the concrete impacts of the forthcoming framework on the insurance sector, from resilience by design and common baseline scenarios to data access and prudential treatment. Second, to clarify the role insurers can realistically play within the EU’s resilience architecture, as risk carrier, prevention incentive, early-warning signal, advisor and, where markets reach their limits, partner to public schemes. Third, drawing on the contrasting experiences of Ireland, Greece and Italy, to identify where coordinated EU action adds value over national approaches, and what insurers and Member States need from the framework, in data, prevention conditionality, proportionate rules and flexibility, to keep climate risks insurable, affordable and fairly shared.
Points of discussion
-
What are the impacts of the EU climate resilience framework on the insurance sector? What are the changes anticipated for insurers?
-
What are the respective roles and shared responsibility of the public and private sectors: the various national models and the case for EU action?
