I\u2019m pleased and proud to have been part of Triple-I\u2019s Town Hall \u2014 \u201cAttacking the Risk Crisis\u201d \u2014 in Washington, D.C. In an intimate setting at the Mayflower Hotel on November 30, 120-plus attendees got to hear from experts representing insurance, government, academia, nonprofits, and other stakeholder groups on climate risk, what\u2019s being done to address it, and what remains to be done. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Triple-I\u2019s first-ever Town Hall was designed as a logical step in its multi-disciplinary, action-oriented effort to change behavior to drive resilience. Capping a year in which headlines about \u201cinsurance crises\u201d in several states garnered major media attention, Triple-I and its members and partners recognized the need for clarification.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing is not an \u2018insurance crisis\u2019,\u201d Triple-I CEO Sean Kevelighan told the standing-room-only audience. \u201cWe\u2019re in the midst of a risk crisis<\/em>. Rising insurance premium rates and availability difficulties are not the cause but a symptom of this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the insurance industry has a critical role to play and is uniquely well equipped to lead the attack, simply transferring risk is not enough. A recurring theme at the Town Hall was the need to shift from a focus on assessing and repairing damage to one of predicting and preventing losses.<\/p>\n

Three moderated discussions \u2013 examining the nature of climate risk and its costs; highlighting the need of strategic innovation in mitigating those risks and building resilience; and exploring the role and impact of government policy \u2013 gave panelists the opportunity to share their insights with a diverse audience focused on collaborative action.<\/p>\n

The agenda was:<\/p>\n
