<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Insured natural catastrophe losses were below-trend USD 107bn in 2025 due to the absence of a major US hurricane landfall -- The long-term trend implies a 2026 loss of USD 148bn, or of USD 320bn in a peak-loss scenario -- The key driver of fast-growing insured losses from secondary perils is rapid exposure growth into high-risk areas -- Catastrophe models remain the industry's best tool for assessing current risk, especially secondary perilS -- Narrowing large protection gaps is a key priority; adaptation measures can help</abstract>
<tableOfContents displayLabel="Contents">Key takeaways -- A year of fires and storms -- The drivers of weather-related insured loss growth -- Sustaining risk transfer through risk mitigation</tableOfContents>
