<b>TITLE:</b> <i>Catastrophe Risk in a Changing Climate</i>
<div><br>
<b>ABSTRACT:</b> Climate change is driving dramatic increases in the impacts of extreme hazards, including hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. These changes occur within a built environment that is in many cases not prepared for the level of hazard that we see
today, much less for changing risk in the future. The insurance industry is managing risk to its business through this complex intersection of science, economics, and public policy. This talk will discuss opportunities to assess climate risk using catastrophe
models, using chronic impacts like changes in temperature, sea level, and rainfall to make progress on understanding lower-confidence extreme events to foster better decision-making in the built environment.</div>

</div>
<div>We look forward to seeing you there!</div>

</div>
<div>Cheers, </div>
