Climate adaptation

Weather prep now! For a less extreme future​.

As extreme weather becomes more common, the risks to homes and communities grow. As an insurance company, we clearly see the dangers of not preparing for these changes. But the good news is, there’s a lot we can and should do now. The time and money invested today are small compared to dealing with the potential consequences later. At If, we support our customers by sharing knowledge and developing smart solutions, so the impact of future extreme weather doesn’t have to be so severe.

More extreme weather calls for more action

Extreme weather isn’t just a problem for the future – it’s already part of our reality. Climate adaptation works like insurance against the risks brought by these conditions. To reduce both the financial and human costs, society must invest in preventive measures.

At If, we use our experience in damage prevention and risk management to help build resilience. We work with our customers to identify risks and take proactive steps, and our experts are here to offer advice and support before, during, and after extreme weather events.

On this page we share our views, and link to reports, and articles about how businesses and communities can strengthen their resilience against extreme weather.
