Climate Risk and Catastrophe Modeling: Strengthening Disclosure and Resilience Compliance for Insurers

REDE Consulting is a specialized Integrated Risk Management (IRM) and Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) advisory firm serving insurance carriers, MGAs, and InsurTech companies. We help insurers translate a complex, state-by-state regulatory landscape, spanning NAIC model laws, climate risk disclosure requirements, and emerging AI governance expectations, into practical, auditable programs that protect policyholders and reduce regulatory exposure, while freeing underwriting, claims, and compliance teams to focus on the business.


The Challenge

Global insured losses from natural catastrophes reached $107 billion in 2025, with weather disasters accounting for the large majority of both total and insured losses. Regulators have responded accordingly: the NAIC's Climate Risk Disclosure Survey requires insurers to report their assessment and management of climate-related risk annually, aligned to the TCFD framework, and the NAIC continues to develop further guidance on catastrophe modeling, exposure stress testing, and climate disclosures.


For many insurers, the challenge isn't recognizing that climate risk matters. It's building the internal processes to model exposure credibly, document the methodology, and disclose it consistently year over year in a way that satisfies regulators and stands up to scrutiny.


The Solutions

Treating climate disclosure as a compliance-only exercise misses the point. The strongest programs connect catastrophe modeling and exposure data directly into enterprise risk management and underwriting decisions.

  • Climate risk assessment processes integrated into enterprise risk management, not siloed in a single reporting team

  • TCFD-aligned disclosure documentation that stays consistent and defensible year over year

  • Stress-testing programs tied to current catastrophe modeling outputs

  • Resilience planning that feeds back into underwriting and exposure management

  • Building climate risk assessment and disclosure frameworks aligned to NAIC and TCFD requirements

  • Integrating catastrophe modeling outputs into enterprise risk management processes

  • Designing stress-testing programs tied to evolving exposure and climate data
