Wildfire risk reduction in a changing climate: A factsheet from two insurance companies

View factsheet.

This paper will explore the relationship of the climate-nature nexus to wildfire in four sections:

1. Summarize the state of the science on how climate and ecosystem changes are exacerbating fire risk.
2. Showcase opportunities where ecosystem services may be used to reduce fire hazard and support fire defences.
3. Identify barriers to implementing such risk reduction measures.
4. Propose policy, financial, and research tools where insurance sector risk expertise can support nature-positive wildfire mitigation at the landscape scale. This helps mitigate risk to support insurability
   for the long haul.
