Environmental risks

As environmental risks crystallize with increasing frequency and severity and transitioning to a low-carbon economy will also bring its own risks there is urgent need to identify, mitigate and adapt to these risks.

Natural hazards

Mother Nature can be ruthless. Across the globe, homes, businesses and whole communities are frequently devastated by windstorms, wildfires, earthquakes, floods and other perils. The impact and likelihood of these natural hazards is increasing, often due to man-made behaviors. More than ever, we need to be aware of our exposure to natural hazards and take action to mitigate the risks.
Climate change

Climate change is perhaps the most complex risk facing society today. It is intergenerational, international, and interdependent. Zurich strives to be a leader in helping the world better manage climate risk and improve resilience against it: we aim to help prevent risks before they can have an impact.
