Climate Change

Climate change represents a significant and complex challenge for humanity, with the potential to affect human health in numerous ways. The impact of climate-related risks, including natural disasters and emerging infectious diseases, can influence mortality and morbidity rates. However, the effects of these risks are not yet fully understood, with considerable uncertainty across regions. To maintain resilience and effectively manage these risks, life and health insurers must gain a deeper understanding of the potential implications for underwriting, portfolio management and claims.

Munich Re's Life Science Report provides a comprehensive guide to assessing both the promises and pitfalls of emerging medical trends and risks, helping life and health insurers to better navigate this environment of changing mortality and morbidity. The report examines the topics of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, Improving Cancer Outcomes, Prevention, Obesity and Climate Change.
