Did you know that approximately one billion people live within 100 miles of a volcano? 🌋 Lloyd’s Futureset’s fourth systemic risk scenario, Volcanic eruption, reveals the potential global GDP impact of a hypothetical volcanic eruption near densely populated, urban areas. Developed and modelled in collaboration with Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies, the scenario considers impacts and insurance industry response to transport, property damage, loss of life and environmental and agriculture disruption. Global losses in this scenario are $1.6trn over a five-year period. Explore the full impact here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gDrzn2mq #LloydsFutureset #systemicrisk #volcaniceruption
