• Economic losses : Insured losses
• Benefit : Indemnity
• Indemnity based mindset; slow to recognize climate change as a
factor
• Micro : Big Ticket

• The most direct risk to insurers from climate change is that the
probabilities of loss are changing quickly
• Not easy to identify by looking at extreme events themselves, given the
low frequency
• Looking at the global weather scene, noteworthy that great disasters
appear in clusters

• Chart shows one year in three the costs are 50% higher than the trend
line
• Given this trend, it seems very likely that there will be a ‘peak’ year that
will record costs of over USD 1 trillion before 2040
• With so much development taking place in coastal zones, the figures
may achieve considerably before 2040

Way forward
www.rahejaqbe.com
• How should the cover be priced?
• District wise Average Annual Loss from pre-calculated peril matrices to determine exposure
• Analysis of historical data keeping in mind today's economic value/s
• Greenhouse Factor
• How should the Sum Insured be selected?
• Low insurance penetration and density implies coverage for a few
• Coverage based on benefit, to start with, instead of indemnity. Helps pricing as well
• How should the claims be determined and paid?
• Linkage to UID or Government verification
• Micro insurance model to reach the grass roots

Way forward

• Will international reinsurance support be available for such a large scale
cover?
• Best practices from other markets can be adopted to suit Indian needs. E.g.-
• Turkish Catastrophic Insurance pool
• FONDEN Of Mexico
• Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility
• The Indonesian Earthquake Reinsurance Pool
• Will the Government be willing to subsidize the premium and give tax
breaks?
• There needs to be legislation, regulations and incentives to ensure that insurance is used to share the burden of disaster relief

Way forward

• Other steps
• Separate CAT reserve for companies?
• Public Private partnership?
• Consider widening Terrorism pool to cover other perils?
• Cooperation with international reinsurers?
• Regional pooling?
