Description: Actuarial weather extremes, January, 2021

Description: Actuarial Weather Extremes: November 2021 Extreme Precipitation, Drought, and Late Season Tornadoes This report examines weather conditions for precipitation, drought conditions, and late season tornadoes that are extreme in an historical context. Extreme Precipitation in the Pacific Northwest: Many Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) stations in Northwest Washington state and Southwest British Columbia had record November daily precipitation amounts on November 14 and 15, 2021 when looking back to 1960. During and after those dates, many U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream gage stations in Washington had readouts that were from Flood Stage to Major Flood Stage. Drought Conditions increase in Continental U.S. as Drought Moves East: Severe drought conditions in the Western U.S. dissipated somewhat, but in the Continental U.S. as a whole, the footprint where drought conditions exist has increased overall, and is driven primarily by increased drought in South-central and Middle Atlantic states. Late Season Tornado Activity: Comparing the historical database of tornado activity and the recent activity in the state of New York, of 24 November tornadoes reported in New York since 1950, nine occurred on November 13, 2021. These late season tornadoes are rare in New York, and November 2021 was exceptionally active for these storms.

Description: This report examines weather conditions for precipitation, drought conditions, and tornadoes that are extreme in an historical context.

Description: Bonus edition on the IPCC WG II Sixth Assessment Report - Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerabilities, as well as other timely topics regarding sustainability-related and climate-related disclosures.

Description: Climate change affects everyone. Proactive responses that look forward to anticipate future conditions will optimize infrastructure investments rather than dealing with the crisis as extreme events arrive. Cities can address local concerns utilizing a process that is repeatable in other jurisdictions.

Description: Climate change will lead to an increase in the frequency and severity of many weather-related hazards. In turn, these hazards will impact health outcomes for individuals. Explore examples of this connection with a climate scientist, including how the increase in wildfire severity in the western U.S. is expected to drive a 40% increase in organic carbon aerosols by 2050 and howheat stress will impact vulnerable populations and workers in non-air-conditioned environments. Investigating these relationships will increase literacy on disproportionate impacts of climate change-related health outcomes. Presenters will illustrate the disproportionate impacts by geographically analyzing climate change signals and comparing them with socioeconomic data. Last but not least, you will learn about the evolution in both voluntary and required disclosures for payors and the landscape of why understanding climate risk is relevant for many payors.

Description: A preview of the details and content of the new Certificate in Climate Risk to be offered by the SOA beginning in early 2023.

Description: There is value in a framework that allows a smooth transition from a qualitative assessment to a quantitative analysis as entities mature in their understanding of climate risk. In this report, a case study on climate change impact on home prices is used to illustrate a Bayesian network iterative approach to building a model for scenario analysis.
