Let's ClimunicateWhy Is Risk Rising? — Catastrophe Modelling, Insurance & the Climate Blind Spot"We're seeing 100-year floods happen multiple times a year. That's just crazy."Dr. Peter Sousounis has spent over two decades inside the catastrophe modelling industry, the hidden infrastructure that decides what you pay for insurance and whether you can get it at all. In this wide-ranging conversation, he exposes why most companies are still treating climate risk as a "box-ticking exercise," why your premiums are rising faster than inflation even in low-risk areas, and why AI might finally fix the fatal flaw in how we model disasters.Report mentioned...
