Description

Description a drive by an alliance of public and private sector organizations to integrate natural disaster and climate risk into financial regulation globally. At the core of the initiative is the 1 in 100 year solvency “stress test”, a similar concept to that developed in recent years by the insurance sector to assess its own ability to manage risk. The test evaluates the maximum probable annual financial loss that an organization, city, or region, could expect once in a hundred years, in order to enable them to manage their risk in a more informed and effective way. - See more at: http://blog.willis.com/2014/11/un-climate-summit-1-in-100-initiative/#sthash.dh8yJc0x.dpuf
