Dear John, 

A new analysis released today reveals a stark disconnect between the insurance industry's climate commitments and their reporting on how they are measuring and tracking progress toward those goals.

The report, The Measurement Gap: A Deep Dive into Climate Risk Reporting in the U.S. Insurance Sector, shows a consistent inability among insurers to translate climate awareness into measurable accountability. Among the 45 insurance groups analyzed—those providing information across all climate risk disclosure categories—none of the insurers provide the emissions targets necessary to track progress toward their climate commitments, despite 87% establishing comprehensive climate targets.
See the Analysis
This analysis comes as the insurance industry confronts unprecedented challenges from increasingly extreme weather events. The global protection gap—the difference between economic losses and insured coverage—is projected to increase by 5% to $1.86 trillion in 2025.
