S&P Global Ratings’ Insurance analysts held a live webinar on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, exploring how climate change could impact primary insurers over the next decade. They provided insights into the potential risks to profitability and underwriting strategies and how these factors could affect credit ratings.

This session built on insights from our recent article:

Key discussion points included:

• What challenges will primary insurers face over the medium term?
• What did we learn from our climate change scenario analysis?
• Which countries and insurance markets may be more exposed to rising insured costs?
• What underwriting actions might we expect, and how could they be factored into our insurers’ credit ratings?
