Analysis and uncertainty

Insurance risk is measured with two families of method that answer different questions: experience-based actuarial techniques that read a portfolio’s own history, and catastrophe models that simulate events no portfolio has yet seen. This page compares them, shows where each fails, and explains why non-stationary hazards force insurers to show trend-adjusted and historical views side by side.

Analysis and uncertainty: Hazard, exposure, vulnerability

In IPCC AR6 Working Group II, climate risk results from interactions between hazards and a system’s exposure and vulnerability, and responses can add risk.

  1. 01 Drivers

    1. 01MetirsîDataset · SupervisorThe potential occurrence of a natural or human-induced physical event or trend that may harm people, property, services or ecosystems.
    2. 02RûbirûbûnDataset · SupervisorThe presence of people, livelihoods, species, ecosystems, infrastructure or assets in places and settings that could be adversely affected.
    3. 03HesasîDataset · SupervisorThe degree to which a system or species is affected, either adversely or beneficially, by climate variability or change.
    4. 04Capacity to cope and adaptDataset · SupervisorThe ability of pergalan, institutions, humans and other organisms to adjust to damage, take opportunities or respond to consequences.

    1. 05Risk from responsesComponent · SupervisorRisks from climate responses arise when responses miss their objectives, or from trade-offs or negative side effects.
    2. 06LawazîComponent · SupervisorThe propensity or predisposition to be adversely affected. It includes sensitivity to harm and lack of capacity to cope and adapt.
    3. 07XetereModel · Insurance NexusRisk results from dynamic interactions between hazards and the system’s exposure and vulnerability. Each may be uncertain and change.
  3. 03 Response

    1. 08Risk management and responseStep · SupervisorRisk management is plans, actions, strategies or policies that reduce the likelihood or size of adverse consequences.
    2. 09Xetera mayîRecord · SupervisorThe climate impact risk that remains after adaptation and mitigation efforts. Adaptation can redistribute risk between areas and groups.
  4. 04 Decision

    1. 10Decision by the responsible partyDecision · SupervisorThe framing names no single decision maker. Decisions on responses rest with the responsible party under its own rules.

Outline of an external standard or method, from its public sources. It describes what the framework says, not a record of any run. It does not show that Nexus or any partner performs, certifies or approves a step. A gate is a step of the method, never a Nexus approval.

05Non-stationarity

When the past is a biased sample.

Loss histories assume the hazard that produced them still applies. Where warming changes the frequency or intensity of a peril, historical burning cost becomes biased. Insurance Nexus methods therefore separate a trend-adjusted hazard view from the observed history and show both. The actuarial treatment continues at Xetera aktuarî û hejmarî; the climate science at the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) climate projections.

06Nediyarî

How uncertainty is reported.

  1. 01

    State assumptions

    Each analysis lists its assumptions and the data it depends on.

  2. 02

    Quantify where possible

    Ranges and confidence are reported alongside central estimates.

  3. 03

    Validate and compare

    Models are checked against observations and, where possible, against other models.

  4. 04

    Publish limits

    What an analysis cannot show is stated beside what it can.
