Zurich Insurance’s Post

As global warming has become an undeniable reality, its impacts are increasingly apparent across various sectors. A notable short-term strategy for #insurers to mitigate the escalating costs linked to extreme weather events is to form effective #partnerships. Global warming is significantly affecting #hailstorms, with changes observed in their intensity, frequency, and patterns. These shifts demand strategic collaborations to manage risks and reduce financial burdens effectively. In particular, hailstorms develop with increased Intensity: warmer temperatures lead to more moisture in the atmosphere, causing #hailstones to form more frequently and grow larger. This results in more severe hailstorms, which can cause significant damage to vehicles, from #dents and shattered windows to compromised structural integrity. The increased size and frequency of hailstones lead to more extensive damage to vehicles, resulting in higher repair costs. This poses a greater financial burden on insurers who must cover these damages. In this evolving climate landscape, insurers need reliable partners to help manage and mitigate these risks. EuroGrandine stands out as a key partner, providing essential solutions to reduce costs associated with hail damage to vehicles, namely high quality #pdr services, and enhance resilience against the impacts of global warming.

Rising temperatures due to climate change will increase floods and droughts, particularly affecting vulnerable developing nations. By accelerating the deployment of adaptation finance, communities can become more resilient to the consequences of global warming. #Mashreq #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #RiseEveryDay

🌎 🌡 ❗ The term "climate change" can indeed feel disconnected from its real-world impacts. The record-breaking temperatures on July 21, 2024, reported by the EU’s Climate Change Service, are a stark reminder of our urgent climate reality. Thanks to Aradhana Khowala, a global leader in the hospitality industry for raising awareness 👇 As a carbon project developer active in Canada, Africa, and SE Asia, Ostrom Climate Solutions Inc. (COO-TSXV | Frankfurt: 9EAA) is witnessing firsthand the increasing frequency and severity of heat waves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and hurricanes. These events are not abstract—they are affecting lives and ecosystems right now. We believe in reshaping the climate narrative to highlight these immediate impacts and drive meaningful action. It's time to change not just how we talk about climate change but also how we address it. Visit us at www.ostromclimate.com to learn more.

I am afraid one of the biggest problems with the very term “climate change” is that is has become disconnected from its effects around us. Sunday, 21 July 2024 was the hottest day ever with highest average temperature on Earth, breaching all previous year’s records according to data from EU’s Climate Change Service. Global average temperatures have already hit a key climate threshold highlighting the challenge in limiting global warming to below 1.5 degrees Celsius.   #Climatechange is increasing the frequency and intensity of heat waves, wild fires and bringing extreme weather events from droughts and floods to hurricanes and extreme heat is further set to wreak havoc across many parts of the world this summer. We know everything we need to know about the interconnectedness of humans and nature in all its cycles and rhythms. Now, it’s time we change not just the delivery of the message but the message itself if we want to solve this problem! Aptamind Partners #storytelling #climatecrisis #changethenarrative

Peach trees on climate watchlist in biggest ever blossom study The UK’s largest ever fruit tree monitoring project will include the observation of peach and apricot tree flowering dates for the first time.  Rising temperatures caused by global warming mean peaches and apricots in the UK are more suitable than ever for the UK’s climate ensuring that enough data can be recorded to observe when these trees begin to flower.  To read the full story on #Hortnews, please click on the link below: https://lnkd.in/eT5HQhqx #fruitwatch #readinguniversity #climate

Many Devastating Extremes in 2023 were amplified by Global Warming In 2023, the world reached new record temperatures, with an unprecedented global mean temperature of 1.48°C above pre-industrial levels. These record temperatures strongly increased the intensity of #heatwaves, #droughts and extreme rainfall associated with storms like Otis and Daniel. This is the conclusion of scientists from leading European research institutes who are working on extreme weather in the XAIDA network. https://lnkd.in/efD36MJB #globalwarming #climatechange

🌏🍀 Globally, the odds of extreme climate-related incidents once in a decade have the following correlation with temperature increment if the current rate of global warming continues and there are no or negligible anthropogenic interventions at all to offset the impacts.

Urban #waterresilience is crucial in a warming world. At 1.5°C, 350 million more people in cities could face severe drought. At #COP28, we must focus on systemic solutions for water supply and climate risks. Learn why: https://bit.ly/3qFfdwI

Located at 8,694 feet above sea level, Gulmarg typically witnesses a winter wonderland with four to six inches of fresh snow in January. However, this year’s scarce snowfall is attributed to El Niño, a climatic phenomenon intensified by global warming. The warming sea surfaces disrupt normal rainfall and snowfall patterns, leading to unpredictable weather conditions. A stark reminder that climate change is undeniably real. #ClimateChangeReality #GulmargSnowfall #ElNinoEffect #GlobalWarmingAwareness #ExtremeWeatherWarning #ExploreWithAmwoodo
