Join our partner, EDF, for this upcoming webinar! As climate change intensifies weather disasters and strains private insurance providers, a growing number of policyholders are turning to state-created insurance (“markets of last resort”) for coverage. New research from EDF and Cornell highlights the vital role these programs can play in reducing risk and stabilizing coverage for policyholders. In this webinar we’ll bring together residual market leaders and experts to discuss some of the unique approaches –premium credits, grant programs, post-disaster upgrades—that programs across the country are beginning to adopt to incentivize and help policyholders reduce their risk and bolster resilience. Experts will share best practices and lessons for replicating these models and highlight challenges and opportunities as risk continues to grow.
