As extreme weather risks intensify, the availability of adequate and affordable insurance is under growing pressure. Insurability is increasingly shaped not only by the resilience of individual assets, but by the resilience of the places and systems around them.
Addressing Insurability: A Playbook for Investing in Place-Based Resilience explores how stakeholders can work together to manage physical risks and strengthen local resilience. It identifies four priority interventions: improving risk-decision data; developing financing mechanisms for resilience; establishing trusted metrics to recognize resilience in insurance and investment decisions; and capturing the wider benefits of resilience through stronger collaboration and governance.
Drawing on emerging examples from around the world, the playbook provides a practical framework for building coalitions, directing investment and strengthening the resilience and insurability of places.
