00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:03.570
Insurers are facing over 100 billion losses
2
00:00:03.570 --> 00:00:06.090
in natural catastrophes over the last five years,
3
00:00:06.090 --> 00:00:09.120
which is more than double than the five years before.
4
00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:11.790
So Joao, how are really physical risks
5
00:00:11.790 --> 00:00:13.740
impacting insurers these days?
6
00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:15.000
Well, I think it's important to say
7
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.220
that risk is composed by three factors,
8
00:00:17.220 --> 00:00:19.380
assets that we can't manage,
9
00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:21.987
and then vulnerability and exposure.
10
00:00:21.987 --> 00:00:23.550
And these ones we can manage,
11
00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:25.260
so this is climate change adaptation,
12
00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:27.660
where we build and how we build.
13
00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:28.710
Fantastic, Joao.
14
00:00:28.710 --> 00:00:30.030
And tell me actually,
15
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:32.430
what are insurers doing with this regard?
16
00:00:32.430 --> 00:00:34.650
How are you really managing those risks?
17
00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:37.260
We are starting to work more with our customers,
18
00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:39.990
ideally starting to be with them
19
00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:43.350
in the design phase so that we can define
20
00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:45.240
the infrastructure and the projects
21
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.070
considering resilience,
22
00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:49.500
considering the best materials to be facing
23
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:50.760
climate change events.
24
00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:53.160
We heard about the Impact Center for Climate Change
25
00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:54.600
at the Fidelidade.
26
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.370
What are you guys really doing there?
27
00:00:56.370 --> 00:00:58.345
So it's a research center to study things
28
00:00:58.345 --> 00:01:01.770
such as wildfires, floods,
29
00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:04.410
and the idea is that Fidelidade takes the role
30
00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:07.710
more as a risk mitigator, more as as a risk manager,
31
00:01:07.710 --> 00:01:11.400
and not only as a risk transfer mechanism for customers.
32
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.740
And we want to not only impact Fidelidade,
33
00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:15.574
but also society at large, providing knowledge
34
00:01:15.574 --> 00:01:18.390
to reduce climate illiteracy,
35
00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:20.310
but also to support policy makers
36
00:01:20.310 --> 00:01:23.190
to have relevant data to take the best decisions
37
00:01:23.190 --> 00:01:26.463
in terms of land use planning or infrastructure rules.
