Drawing on responses from IIS members and guided by leading global insurers, this report highlights the resilience strategies gaining traction across climate, disaster, digital, and systemic risk.

Key findings include:

• Only 25% of insurers report that resilience is “very” or “extremely” embedded in their strategic objectives.
• Disaster (52%), digital (50%), and climate resilience (47%) are the leading areas of focus across the industry.
• Larger insurers prioritize systemic risk management, while smaller firms emphasize financial inclusion and access.
