EIOPA’s Sustainable Finance Conference 2023: Launch of first Catastrophe Data Hub

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) launched today a Catastrophe Data Hub at its Sustainable Finance Conference 2023. The Catastrophe Data Hub is an open-source collection of catastrophe risk data at European level. As global temperatures rise and the nature of threats evolves, such losses are expected to increase in the coming years. Moreover, this also heightens the likelihood of the already substantial insurance protection gap expanding further.
