Description: The Mortality and Longevity and Catastrophe and Climate Strategic Research Programs are pleased to make available a report summarizing an expert panel brought together to discuss the impact of wildfires on U.S. health and life insurers.

Description: This report examines the influence of climate-induced migration on U.S. state-level population shifts and property insurance market responses, including rate setting, regulation, and insurer behavior.

Description: The research provides a modeling framework for assessing the inundation risk of properties and their expected flood damages, thereby laying a foundation for flood insurance pricing. The researchers studied over 50 years of claims data from the National Flood Insurance Program with 2.5 million records and identify property characteristics that predict flood damages for inundated properties. The development of a private flood insurance market benefits from insurers’ ability to better understand and price flood risk. This research takes a closer look at flood risk modeling and flood insurance pricing.

Description: The Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute received a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to educate insurance actuaries on the use of wildfire risk datasets and models to be developed by researchers from academia and the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Description: A multi-author collection exploring how catastrophe modeling can be adapted to life and health insurance, particularly in response to the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

Description: This report will explore metrics and assessment tools used by insurance companies and asset management firms in the U.S. to measure the climate risk exposures in their investment portfolios and see how they disclose the results. In addition, it will explore how companies may be able to use similar climate risk assessment tools in Asset-Liability Management and Risk Management.

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.

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.
