The Climate and Resiliency (EX) Task Force is organized around five workstreams. The workstreams are broken out by tab below to showcase the activities and topics covered under each group.
The Pre-Disaster Mitigation Workstream serves to accomplish the following:
- Participate in multi-agency/stakeholder educational efforts on coverage gaps and pre-disaster mitigation related to climate risks.
- Incentivize insurer recognition of enhanced building codes in underwriting and rating.
- Continue consumer education and awareness on coverage gap and pre-disaster mitigation related to climate risks and natural catastrophe exposure, including possible strategic partnerships.

NAIC and Federal Resources on Resiliency, Disaster Preparedness and Response - this page provides links to pertinent information created by the NAIC as well as Federal Agencies.
The Solvency Workstream serves to accomplish the following:
- Recommend enhancements to regulator solvency tools, including a risk framework for addressing wildfires and flood within the property/casualty (P/C) risk-based capital (RBC) formula, modifications to the Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA), the Financial Analysis Handbook and the Financial Condition Examiners Handbook. Develop climate risk stress tests and scenario analysis to evaluate potential financial exposure to both the physical and transition impacts of climate change. Provide scenarios, assumptions, and parameters for the stress testing exercise.
- Determine methodology for quantifying insurers' exposure to climate-related investments.
The Climate Risk Disclosure Workstream serves to accomplish the following:
- Consider modifications to the Climate Risk Disclosure to align with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and promote uniformity in reporting requirements.
The Climate Risk Disclosure Workstream of the Climate and Resiliency Executive Task Force is seeking feedback on questions to help guide its recommendation on climate disclosures to the Task Force. These are not questions that would be posed to insurers as part of the Climate Risk Disclosure Survey. The Workstream plans to use the content heard and discussion from its meetings to inform their recommendations to the Task Force, considering each of these Questions to Determine Objectives of NAIC Climate Risk Disclosures.
Comments should be sent to NAIC staff (aobersteadt@naic.org) by March 3, 2021.
