Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) addressed the impact of natural catastrophes on the financial sector in a comprehensive article. In 2023, natural catastrophes such as hurricanes, earthquakes, storms and floods have become more frequent globally. Many of the losses were not insured, NZZ writes. These “insurance gaps” exist not only in emerging and developing countries, but also in the western world. Michael Stahel, Partner at LGT Capital Partners, responded to the journalist's questions and shared his perspectives on the “insurance gap”.

As climate change continues to impact our world, it's crucial to address its effects on the housing market, especially in financially vulnerable districts. ABN AMRO Bank N.V. 's recent study sheds light on the Dutch housing landscape, identifying climate-vulnerable districts and the compounded risks homeowners face due to flooding, foundation issues, and sustainability challenges. The study's key findings highlight the need for action, including enhanced transparency, policy and funding support, and the role of financial institutions. Making risk information a mandatory part of real estate transactions can promote fairer pricing and financial planning for climate adaptation measures. Leveraging combined funding through recovery and heating funds can support energy efficiency and climate resilience in vulnerable districts, and banks and mortgage lenders can play a crucial role in preventing vulnerable populations from gravitating towards devalued, risk-prone properties. 🏘️ Key Insights: - Climate Vulnerable Districts: Districts where the confluence of flooding, foundation issues, and sustainability challenges could overwhelm homeowners. Particularly in areas with a high percentage of private ownership, the financial burden of climate adaptation and energy efficiency improvements might be unsustainable. - Pricing Climate Risks: The study underscores a critical gap in the housing market - the insufficient reflection of climate risks in property valuations. This disconnect not only burdens future buyers but risks the financial security of current homeowners. It's time to elevate awareness and integrate climate risk assessments into property negotiations to mitigate future shocks. Exploring innovative funding mechanisms, such as the recovery fund and heating fund, could offer lifelines to those in climate-vulnerable districts.
