Paris, France – The French Insurance Federation has reported a sharp increase in claims related to climate-induced disasters, with projections indicating that costs will continue to rise.
According to the federation, more frequent and severe weather events—such as floods, storms, and heatwaves—have led to extensive damage to property and infrastructure across the country. As a result, insurance companies are reassessing their risk models and considering premium adjustments to ensure financial stability in the face of escalating claims.
The French government has acknowledged the growing challenge posed by climate-related disasters and is exploring strategies to strengthen national resilience. Officials are evaluating policies aimed at mitigating risks and supporting communities vulnerable to extreme weather events.
With climate change driving an increase in the severity and frequency of natural disasters, both insurers and policymakers face mounting pressure to adapt to the evolving landscape and safeguard economic stability.
