We see far too often structures built to current code that lack planning and design consideration to sustain the probable impacts of progressive climate change or episodic natural disasters. It is time for more robust building codes, especially in areas where we can predict the probable impact of these progressive events.
While designing for resilience requires initial investments, the long-term payoffs often far outweigh these costs. Ensuring that resilience benefits are distributed fairly across all communities, including marginalized groups, is critical. Resilience strategies should be scalable and adaptable to evolving climate risks.
Implementing a multifaceted strategy can motivate state and local governments to prioritize resilient design and construction effectively. The combination of policy frameworks, education, collaboration, technology utilization, successful models, funding opportunities, and ongoing evaluation will protect communities for the future.
The growing frequency and severity of climate-related disasters present a significant challenge for the insurance industry. As insurers adapt to this new reality, they must balance the need to remain financially viable with the responsibility to provide affordable coverage.
