The 2015 United Nations Climate Conference in Paris is a key event of 2015. Political and industry leaders, civil society and media from around the world will converge on Paris Le Bourget. The insurance sector is particularly affected by the problem of global warming, as it bears a significant share of the cost of natural disasters, and costs are expected to increase in the future. This international conference is an opportunity to highlight these issues, to raise awareness of the various existing compensation schemes, to reflect on possible adaptations and to emphasize the need to prevent natural disasters and limit damages and associated costs.
