California moves to allow insurance companies to factor in climate change risk

For the first time, California’s insurance commissioner will allow insurance companies to factor in future climate risks when setting new policy prices. The move is aimed at keeping companies from fleeing the state, but critics are concerned over spiked premiums.

          California's decision to consider future climate risks in insurance pricing is a necessary step to address the growing impact of climate change. While it aims to protect the state from insurance companies leaving, it also raises concerns about potentially higher premiums. Balancing affordability and climate resilience is a challenge, but it's crucial for a more sustainable and climate-resilient future. 🌎🏡💼 #ClimateRisk #InsuranceReform

                  The decision to allow insurance companies to consider future climate risks when setting policy prices in California is a step towards addressing the impact of climate change. However, it remains to be seen how this will affect insurance premiums and whether it will be affordable for consumers.
