Climate change is driving more frequent and more severe weather events around the globe, but of all the perils that brings, one rises above the rest: flood. It does more damage than any other. It’s the most frequent hazard, and it’s the one that is increasing the sharpest in a warming climate. Climate change, globalisation and urbanisation are driving factors behind flood events and their consequences. The frequency and severity of floods are notably felt in their increases in Asia.

As the impacts of climate change become more extreme and widespread, insurance alone won’t be enough to safeguard the business from the impacts of flooding. Wholistic risk mitigation plays a key role in resilience, and it doesn’t have to be too complex. Integrating climate adaptation and resilience into the design of buildings, from waterproofing to relocating essential equipment, to installing wind-resistant roofing, to scrapping a risky location can make a huge difference. Backed by decades of engineering & science, we will be sharing our expertise on proven and tested methods to build long-term resilience against flood risks.
