Is the insurance industry ready for the climate crisis?

By Clémence Carayol

From bushfires and floods to rising premiums and shifting coverage, the rules of the game are changing. But what does this mean for architects, developers, and property professionals?

This year’s Sustainability Summit, hosted by Architecture & Design, arrives in Sydney on 19 November at the Fullerton Hotel, bringing with it a full day of thought-provoking discussions, including one CPD panel architects can’t afford to miss:  Climate change and the insurance industry – what does the future hold?”, proudly sponsored by Dincel.

This session will explore how climate-related disasters are reshaping insurance policies, risk modelling, and even building codes. Industry leaders and climate experts will dive into the challenges ahead, asking tough questions about the resilience of current insurance frameworks and the pivotal role insurers play in how and where we build.

For architects and designers, understanding the evolving relationship between climate risk and insurability is no longer optional. It’s fundamental to creating buildings that are not only sustainable, but insurable, liveable, and future-proof.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the conversation shaping the future of the built environment.
