Climate change not only impacts
general insurance and investments,
but also morbidity and mortality
risks as well as workforce
productivity. Furthermore, as these
studies demonstrated, there can be
health benefits to tackling climate
change. These will translate into
lower healthcare costs, improved
productivity and quality of life and
less employee churn. In our
capacity as corporate advisors on
issues of employee benefit,
retirement and healthcare,
actuaries should highlight to clients
the importance of tackling climate
change and that concrete actions,
such as those suggested in these
studies, can translate into material
financial gains.
