America Adapts - The Climate Change Podcast

In episode 194 of America Adapts, we take a deep dive on climate risk and the insurance sector. Earlier in the fall host Doug Parsons attended a two day conference hosted at American University in Washington DC. The conference was organized by the Environmental Defense Fund, SBP and American University. The event brought together experts focusing on the role of insurance in building equity in disaster recovery, reducing future losses, new innovations in expanding coverage and the role of insurance in managing increasing climate-related disasters. You’ll hear the need for insurance companies to conduct climate risk analysis and the role of government in addressing these issues. Experts at this conference laid the intellectual groundwork on where the insurance industry will need to go and you’ll hear highlights in this episode. This episode was generously sponsored by the Environmental Defense Fund. Dr. Carolyn Kousky, Associate Vice President for Economics and Policy at Environmental Defense Fund  Francis
