<dc:description xml:lang="es">Sumario: The document highlights how climate change and ecosystem degradation are driving rising losses from extreme weather events, widening insurance protection gaps, and threatening economic and financial stability. It explains that insurers are withdrawing from high-risk areas, premiums are soaring, and governments are increasingly forced to act as insurers of last resort, straining public budgets and sovereign debt. The document stresses that without systemic action, risks will become uninsurable, undermining prosperity and social cohesion. WWF recommends a strategic framework built on four pillars: holistic risk and resilience assessments, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reversing nature loss, making nature-based solutions central to adaptation, resilience and recovery, and enhancing policy incentives and insurance regulation to align risk transfer with resilience. By integrating nature into planning, valuing ecosystem services, and mobilizing private capital for green solutions, governments can close the protection gap, safeguard communities, and maintain financial stability</dc:description>
