"Every segment of the insurance industry faces climate risks, yet the industry's response has been highly uneven," said Ceres president Mindy Lubber, who wrote the report foreword. "The implications of this are profound because the insurance sector is a key driver of the economy. If climate change undermines the future availability of insurance products and risk management services in major markets throughout the US, it threatens the economy and taxpayers as well."
