What is the Protection Gap?
Over 400 natural catastrophe events in 2019 generated economic losses of $232 billion, yet only $71 billion was insured. We need to close this gap – by managing the impact of factors such as climate change – to protect our global communities.
Aon and the insurance industry is committed to finding solutions to close the gap by working with governments, humanitarian organizations and NGOs to protect their people and property before and after catastrophes.
