Summary
"Around the world, climate change has resulted in the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events and natural catastrophes. These disasters can have a significant impact on local economies and livelihoods and the health and well-being of residents. In addition, the amount of uninsured economic losses resulting from climate disasters have increased. Impacts on Canadian homeowners and renters can range from financial losses, forced relocations, injury, and death. The outcome of these events can be greater financial and housing precarity, particularly for households already experiencing vulnerability. Governments from all levels often support populations with emergency funds but the increased frequency and severity of events is putting pressures on public finances. Insurance programs can play a role to better protect people from these effects, incentivize better mitigation, and limit financial risks born by the government"--Page [1].
