There Are No Climate Change Deniers in the Insurance Industry

Former CBC and BBC Radio Host Mary Ambrose sits down with Jason Thistlethwaite, a Fellow with the Centre for International Governance Innovation, for a conversation about climate change and insurance companies.

The cost of repairing the damage done by hurricanes is massive. In part, because flooding is the most expensive risk world-wide.

And insurance companies are shaking their heads. Not because people often don’t get flood insurance. Rather, because they have been warning us about the cost of climate change for decades.

There are no climate change deniers in the insurance business. We just haven’t listened. Listen to Jason tell Mary why we need to start listening.
