The COVID-19 pandemic, even after we overcome it, will have lasting effects on people, businesses and governments across the globe.
Kai-Uwe Schanz, Deputy Managing Director and Head of Research & Foresight, anticipates that the post-COVID-19 risk landscape will probably more digital than physical and more local than global. In all likelihood, resilience, rather than short-term economic gain, will drive public and private policy agendas.

A huge surge in remote working during the COVID-19 crisis has been accompanied by dramatic increases in cyber activity. Hackers are even targeting hospitals and medical facilities, where there is so much at stake.
Crises like the COVID-19 pandemic typically accelerate the innovative use of new technologies and data, and we are indeed seeing this happening right now.
Isabelle Flückiger, Director New Technologies & Data, illustrates how technology is moving the needle in addressing the COVID-19 crisis, and there are 'implications to watch' for liability and insurability.
Our thoughts are with those who have lost a loved one to COVID-19, with those who are infected and are suffering from it, as well as with all the medical staff – doctors, nurses – who are fighting so courageously, sometimes at the expense of their own health.
Our thoughts are also with all the people who continue to be working on the ground to make sure that our societies continue to function and that people’s basic needs are being met.
In this time of great uncertainty, insurance companies worldwide are fully mobilised to support their customers.
COVID-19 is affecting health at multiple levels, beyond the direct effects of infection.
Adrita Bhattacharya-Craven, Director Health & Ageing, discusses how the insurance industry can help society cope with the realities and aftermath of the pandemic.

When it comes to insuring cyber risks, what is categorised as cyber and what the insurance market covers and faces in terms of risk and opportunities is changing at lightning speed, making collaboration increasingly important.
Cross-sectoral collaboration on cyber also promotes a better understanding of cyber by insurers, with benefits for the industry and society alike.
Insurance Business discussed the role of collaboration in cyber insurance, and the GA's initiatives to drive cooperation, with Rachel Anne Carter, Director Cyber.
The Geneva Association mourns the passing of Orio Giarini, Secretary General of our organisation from 1973–2000, who died on Friday, 28 February 2020 in Trieste, Italy at the age of 84.
Orio will be remembered as a passionate and energetic leader and thinker, full of forward-looking ideas on the role of insurance in the economy and society and sustainable development. It was he who conceived, together with Fabio Padoa Schioppa, Raymond Barre and a small group of insurance executives, to establish The Geneva Association as a think tank devoted to the study of risks and insurance.
