The Curve

The Economic Impact of the LA Wildfires.


Listen Later

The LA wildfires are among the most devastating natural disasters in recent history, with 12,000 structures lost, 200,000 people displaced, and $275 billion in economic damage. This episode explores the financial toll, from $20 billion in insurance claims to the ripple effects on housing and the global economy. We also provide actionable tips - auditing insurance, building emergency funds, and investing in climate-conscious companies - to help you prepare for an uncertain future. It’s a stark reminder of the cost of climate inaction and a call to build a more sustainable world.

If you’re moved to help, below are some links to trusted organisations providing relief and support for those affected by the fires:
