We are pleased to invite journalist colleagues, exclusively, to a media roundtable on May 7 to mark the release of the Geneva Association’s upcoming report, Safeguarding Home Insurance: Reducing exposure and vulnerability to extreme weather.
This on-the-record, 45-minute session – offered at both 9:00–9:45 CEST (Session 1) and 15:00–15:45 CEST (Session 2) – will offer early access to key insights on the day of the report’s publication.
The rising impacts of extreme weather are making home insurance more costly and difficult to access. The situation is compounded by homeowner decisions, as well as stakeholder approaches to land use, building codes, and mortgage lending, among other factors. As a result, insurance availability and affordability are being strained in advanced economies including Australia, Canada, the EU, Japan, and the U.S.
Safeguarding Home Insurance: Reducing exposure and vulnerability to extreme weather proposes a two-tier approach to addressing these growing challenges: scaling local resilience measures and enacting structural reforms in property valuation, mortgage systems, and insurance markets.
Approved attendees will receive the embargoed report the day before the media roundtable.
We hope you’ll join this timely and important conversation with the report’s author, Maryam Golnaraghi, Director Climate Change & Environment – moderated by Pamela Corn, Director Communications – on protecting access to insurance in a riskier world.
