KBRA Releases Research – Climate Change Challenges Life Insurers’ Mortality Assumptions

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
KBRA releases research that highlights the growing body of research on the health implications of climate change. Evolving regulatory disclosure frameworks are raising the bar on the level of transparency that life insurers must provide to the market about climate change impacts on their risk profile, and environmental, social, and governance-related considerations for life insurers not only reflect investment portfolios, but are expanding beyond assets to the liability side of the business. While the more immediate impacts of climate change are widely considered for property exposures of non-life insurers, there is a growing body of research detailing climate change’s potential negative impact on mortality and morbidity, a consideration which is gaining focus in the life sector.
