The insurance industry has developed a new tool called the Insurability Readiness Matrix to address the growing protection gap caused by climate change. This matrix provides a common language for insurers, financiers, developers, and policymakers to assess and improve the insurability of assets and communities before they become uninsurable. It evaluates seven key components, including data, physical resilience, and policy alignment, offering pathways for improvement and using real-world examples like Lagos and Paradise, California, to demonstrate how targeted interventions can reduce premiums and restore insurability.
