Mumbai Flooding and Climate Insurance Challenges

Mumbai Flooding and Climate Insurance Challenges

The world is seeing more extreme weather, like heavy rains in Mumbai that flooded a train station and a glacier collapse in Switzerland.

Current ways of predicting the weather aren't working as well anymore.

This means it's hard to prepare for these events, and the financial costs are growing.

Insurance can help, but not everyone has it, and some people don't believe climate change is a big problem.

New ideas like government-backed insurance and CAT bonds are being considered to help pay for the damage and encourage people to protect the environment.
