Swiss Re’s commitment to addressing climate change
As a leading global reinsurer we actively research, model and reinsure natural catastrophe risks from floods through winter-storms to hurricanes. We have therefore followed the development of climate change for over 20 years and participated in, or sponsored, 100’s of events and projects ranging from research and awareness building to product development and managing our own carbon footprint.
Today we focus on how our societies can become more resilient in the face of inevitable climate change, including the use of a pre-emptive risk management approach. Climate Week NYoC is an important step for us on the "Road to Copenhagen" where policy makers will make important decisions on reducing global greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation funding including the use of risk- transfer mechanisms.
