Shell case study: An approach to16developing guidance on climate adaptation Introduction Ipieca hosted a virtual workshop on 12 March 2025 on‘Approaches to estimating financial impacts of climatechange’. This was the third virtual workshop Ipiecahosted in a series on climate change adaptation andresilience. The first workshop covered ‘The current stateof climate change science—physical impacts and risks’- a summary report can be accessed here. The secondwas on ‘Voluntary and regulatory adaptation disclosurerequirements and developing good practices’ -a summaryreport can be accessed here. KEY MESSAGES 1.In practice assessing the potential financialimpacts from climate change and appropriateadaptation measures can be very challenging asanalyses are extremely site and context specificand climate-related risks vary dynamically overtime. In addition, there is also a great deal ofuncertainty associated with climate projectionsand potential climate-related risks varysignificantly between a 2°C and 4°C world The purpose of this third workshop was to: •Build an understanding around the importance ofand latest developments for estimating the financialimpacts of climate change•Highlight the insurance industry’s perspective oncompanies’ financial impacts assessments of climatechange•Explore approaches, methodologies and challengesrelated to estimating the financial impacts of climatechange•Review a member case study from Shell – ‘Anapproach to developing guidance on climateadaptation’•Help identify future work for the task force and Ipieca 2.Climate risk assessments are now anticipatinggreater economic impacts compared to thoseconducted 5-10 years ago, however, there isregional variation, with the greatest impactsprojected to occur in sub-Saharan Africa andAsia due to their existing higher temperatures 3.Insured and uninsured losses from weather-related extremes have significantly increased inthe past three decades. In addition, traditionallylosses were more closely tied to peak perilevents (high intensity and rare) whereas morerecently significant losses are being incurredfrom non-peak peril events (lower intensity andmore frequent) 4.Assessing the insurability of new climatetechnologies is complex and takes time,however, partnerships between companiesand the insurance industry can ensure riskengineering experts are involved in projects asearly as their demonstration phase.
