Exploring climate change modelling for insurers
In a series of three podcasts, we are joined by experts from Moody’s and other industry specialists to explore the impact of climate change on risk modelling. We address the expectations and challenges of performing adequate analysis on both assets and liabilities, the practical applications, and what it means for processes such as the ORSA and SAA. Finally, we generate some thought-provoking discussion on whether insurers are missing some important risk factors in their analysis by looking too short-term.

Episode 1: How insurers are tackling climate risk modelling
In this episode we are joined by three Moody’s experts to explore how insurers are quantifying and assessing climate-related risks.  We discuss how capturing both transition and physical risk is creating a new challenge for the industry.

Guests:

• Gavin Conn, Director, Insurance Research & Strategy, Moody’s Analytics
• Ragav Sawhney, Director, Product Management, Longevity, Moody’s RMS
• Joss Matthewman, Senior Director, Product Management, Global Climate, Moody’s RMS
