The report examines the growing impact of climate change on insurable extraordinary risks, in a context of extreme weather event intensification and a widening of the protection gap against natural disasters. These events represent systemic challenges that exceed the capacity of the private market and the public sector, requiring coordinated responses between insurers, governments, and international organizations. The report is structured in seven chapters that include the analysis of climate cycles and predictive models, quantification of economic damages and the level of insurance coverage, and a review of international loss protection and compensation mechanisms. It also addresses the role of reinsurance and financial instruments such as catastrophe bonds, examines the impact of climate risks on insurance investment portfolios, studies the development of CO₂ emission rights markets, and presents, according to international experience, useful public policies for the mitigation, prevention, and compensation of these risks.
