WEBVTT 1 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.
