Climate Opportunities for Insurers
Why Do Insurers Play a Critical Role in Addressing Climate Change?
Natural disasters caused $343 billion in economic losses in 2022 — of which $130 billion was covered by insurance. With climate change driving new extreme weather records, insurers increasingly need to quantify the impact of climate risk.
Simultaneously, the industry plays a critical role in driving global resilience and transitioning to net-zero. In response, Aon helps insurers make better decisions to plan for climate change. This includes meeting goals to deliver innovative products to meet customer demand, navigate regulatory changes and remain profitable.

- Manage physical risk by creating a custom view of risk to manage clients’ unique portfolios and transfer risk into traditional and alternative markets.
- Transition to net-zero by identifying and quantifying the risks and opportunities within our clients’ portfolios and supporting key investments or steps to mitigate risks.
