Climate risk and response has rapidly moved up the agendas for leaders everywhere as extreme weather events and new research findings highlight the risks to lives and livelihoods. Our research and analysis found that in 2022, economic losses from natural disasters were estimated at $313 billionOpens in a new tab, The protection gap for those losses is 58 percent. Yet, even as these events rise in frequency and severity and the costs mount, many companies are still seeking to understand their risk exposures and how to embed environmental and ESG risk into their decision making.
