KBRA Releases Research – Climate Change Challenges Life Insurers’ Mortality Assumptions

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases research that highlights the growing body of research on the health implications of climate change.

While the more immediate impacts of climate change are widely considered for property exposures of non-life insurers, there is a growing body of research detailing climate change’s potential negative impact on mortality and morbidity, a consideration which is gaining focus in the life sector.
