The main drivers were record-breaking LA wildfires with USD 40 billion in insured losses and severe convective storms totaling USD 50 billion globally. While hurricane activity was high, losses remained low, with Hurricane Melissa being the costliest at USD 2.5 billion. Additional events included severe flooding in Southeast Asia and an 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Russia, where early warning systems proved effective in saving lives. Despite a 24% decrease compared to 2024, the report stresses the growing trend of losses due to urbanization in hazard-prone areas, rising asset values, and climate-related risks, underscoring the need for stronger prevention, risk-informed policies, and resilience measuresContiene: US events are the main driver of global insured natural catastrophe losses -- Persistent losses from severe convective storms -- Low hurricane losses, despite an active season -- Severe flooding in Southeast Asia in late November -- Adaptation and early warning systems can save lives -- Table: Total economic and insured losses in 2025 and 2024Materia / lugar / evento: Gerencia de riesgosPérdidas máximas por siniestrosCatástrofes naturalesIncendiosTormentasInundacionesHuracanesSeismosCostes económicosOtros autores: Swiss Re InstituteOtras clasificaciones: 328.1Derechos: In Copyright (InC)Referencias externas:
