AI Overview

Insurance companies have a complex relationship with climate change.
While they are increasingly recognizing and managing climate-related
risks in their underwriting and investment activities, they also
continue to invest in fossil fuels and underwrite projects that
contribute to climate change. This creates a paradoxical situation
where they are both vulnerable to the consequences of climate change
and implicated in its causes.

How is climate change impacting home insurance markets?

Homeowners' insurance markets are facing some significant challenges.
Across the country, average homeowners insurance premiums have
increased by more than 30% between 2020 and 2023 (13% adjusted for
inflation). Some insurance companies have stopped writing policies in
some areas. And an increasing number of households that cannot find
insurance in the private market are resorting to more limited "last
resort" insurance plans that are intended to fill temporary gaps in
the private property insurance market. Policyholder numbers for last
resort plans doubled from 2018-2023 in Florida, California, and
Louisiana, and Florida's insurer of last resort became one of the top
10 largest homeowner insurers in 2023.
