In collaboration with the National Confederation of Insurers (CNseg), FGV organized, within the framework of London Climate Action Week 2026, a roundtable on Climate Risks and Resilience.
Climate risks are intensifying globally, causing substantial losses across various sectors of society. Brazil, with its diverse biomes, climates, and soils, offers a unique “laboratory” of climate data that can support global research on risk assessment and resilience strategies. This panel examined how scientific knowledge can guide public policies aimed at enabling societies to mitigate and adapt to climate-related risks. It also highlighted the role of strategic instruments—such as insurance and reinsurance—in supporting cities to anticipate, manage, and reduce the impacts of climate-related disasters.
By bringing together renowned researchers, insurance and reinsurance companies, civil society organizations, and funding agencies, the discussion considered how climate data, risk modeling, and evidence-based policymaking can contribute to resilient infrastructure, green financing, and more informed decision-making.
The panel emphasized how integrated approaches—combining science, public policy, and financial tools—can enhance the capacity of cities and institutions to anticipate, manage, and recover from climate catastrophes, while also opening new pathways for international collaboration and long-term resilience initiatives.
