Reminder: Comments On NAIC Insurer Climate Change Survey Documents Due January 8
Dec 29, 2009
Reminder: The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) Climate Change and Global Warming Task Force has requested comments on the following documents related to the NAIC Insurer Climate Risk Disclosure Survey (“Survey”) by Friday, January 8, 2010:
- Cover letter explaining the purpose of the Survey (to be sent to insurers by state insurance regulators)
- Survey prototype
- List of insurer groups with direct written premium of over $30 million by state
Comments in Microsoft Word format should be forwarded to Pam Simpson at psimpson@naic.org by Friday, January 8, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. (CST).
The goal of the Survey is to generate substantive information about the risks posed by climate change to insurers and the actions that insurers are taking in response to their understanding of climate change risks. Disclosure of climate change risks has been deemed by the NAIC to be important because of the potential impact of the issue on insurer solvency, insurance availability and affordability across all major categories of insurance.
