Climate Risk Insurance: Who Absorbs Agricultural Shock?

22 Sept 2026
Auditorium
Main Stage

FIRESIDE CHAT

  • How is agricultural risk being managed in an era of increasing climate volatility and why have insurance systems struggled to keep pace?
  • Who absorbs systemic agricultural shocks today: farmers, insurers, governments, or supply chains?
  • Are parametric insurance solutions sufficient for large-scale, systemic climate events or do they paper over deeper structural gaps?
  • How does risk exposure vary across regions and are current models designed for those differences?
  • Are existing insurance frameworks adequate for the realities of a changing climate or does the model itself need to change?
