Coping with the NEW NORMAL in property insurance; the industry's response analyzed in Munich

11 June 2015 — Daniela GHETU
"Records show that disasters have been increasing both in terms of frequency and severity. The impact of disasters does not depend only on the force with which it strikes, but the way it is received and felt is equally important", says a Report released by OSCE in September 2014.

In fact, a recent report of the World Bank findings show, with global warming of close to 1.5 C above pre-industrial times already locked in, and a 40 percent chance to exceed 4 C before 2100 if no further action is taken, weather extremes considered as occurring every 100 years at most may soon become the "NEW NORMAL".

What is the European response to this future developments? Natural risks are too varied, too complex and regionally too diverse to be encompassed by a single Europe-wide one fits all solution. Thus, while it is true that prevention is the best protection manner, insurance remains the most appropriate and, at the same time, affordable tool for preserving people's and businesses' financial capacity of coping with the material consequences of a natural disaster.
