Insurance and reinsurance under climate stress: managing systemic risk in global supply chains examines how climate disruption is transforming supply chains from efficiency-driven networks into channels of systemic vulnerability.
Drawing on recent European climate shocks, from floods that paralysed logistics and manufacturing to droughts that strained harvests and water supplies, the report shows how extreme weather no longer remains local.
Instead, it cascades through interconnected trade, energy and financial systems, turning physical hazards into global shortages, delays and economic instability.
Based on interviews with senior leaders across Europe’s (re)insurance sector, the paper explores how traditional risk-transfer models are being stretched by the scale, correlation and complexity of climate-related losses.
As hazards intensify and exposures concentrate, the foundational principles that underpin insurability are being tested in new ways.
