Horizon 2020_Insurance

Globally, there is increased concern of the potential impacts of extreme climate events and their impact on loss and damage of people, assets and property as a result of these events. Therefore, natural partners in using climate services to assess risk are the Global Insurance Sector, who are key implementers in increasing societies resilience and recovery of extreme events and who are integral, co-design partners in this programme.

The H2020_Insurance Project is a truly collaborative, cross sector, pan European (and beyond) undertaking. The range of work packages (WP) is incredibly diverse from a multi-hazard, multi-risk model for the Danube, though to agricultural micro insurance in Tanzania. Experts are drawn from the following countries: France, United Kingdom, Germany, Hong Kong, Denmark, Austria, Hungary, The Netherlands, Spain, Kenya, and Serbia.

The H2020_Insurance project is an ambitious undertaking and is expected to deliver benefits across a range of sectors and regions. Ultimately the benefits can be classified into those that identify and help protect people and assets, and those that create innovative and new product offerings in the insurance market. These new products help to increase the spread and penetration of risk transfer, thus providing protection to currently under protected regions.
