Lunch & Learn: Climate, Hurricanes, and Reinsurance

January 22, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Lunch and Learn

How does climate change affect hurricanes? What do we know about it? How do we make seasonal hurricane forecasts? And how are those used in the reinsurance sector? We’ll dig into these questions along with the emerging science of climate attribution.

Key Takeaways

Attendees will learn why hurricanes aren’t always the best poster child for climate change.

Who Should Attend?

Anyone interested in hurricanes and their impacts, those interested in the reinsurance industry, and those who communicate the effects of climate change.
