Impact of Climate Change on Insurance Costs
Climate change is driving an increase in both the frequency and severity of natural disasters, which significantly impacts insurance costs for commercial real estate. With the rise in disasters related to hurricanes, wildfires, and flooding, the insurance industry is experiencing a prolonged hard market, resulting in heightened premiums. For instance, recent years have witnessed a surge in billion-dollar disaster events in the U.S., necessitating a reevaluation of risk for properties, particularly in regions increasingly prone to catastrophes. Demographic shifts, with more populations migrating to high-risk areas such as the Sun Belt, further exacerbate this situation, aligning higher insurance costs with greater potential exposure.
