<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Significant uncertainty remains on the nature and extent of the changes to our climate and the specific impacts this will generate. Many of the effects will become apparent over the coming decades and anticipating them will require forward projections, not solely historical data.
Insurers have a key interest in understanding the impact of climate change on the frequency of extreme weather events. The frequency of heat waves has increased in Europe, Asia and Australia and more regions show an increase in the number of heavy precipitation events than a decrease. It is virtually certain that since the 1970s there has been an increase in the frequency and intensity of the strongest tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic basin</abstract>
