Formerly Moody’s RMS

LONDON – December 13, 2021 – RMS®, the world’s leading catastrophe risk solutions company, is working with leading global specialty (re)insurer Canopius to develop and enhance Canopius’ climate change risk analysis with the adoption of RMS Climate Change Models.

RMS has worked closely with Canopius to fully integrate the climate change models into its business processes with a focus on North Atlantic hurricane wind and storm surge.

The RMS Climate Change Models will also help Canopius to respond to new and emerging regulatory reporting, such as the recent Bank of England Climate Biennial Exploratory Scenario (CBES) exercise, as well as further financial disclosures.

RMS Climate Change Models help (re)insurers, such as Canopius, better understand, evaluate, and manage climate change risk in multiple regions using a probabilistic modeling approach. The models offer comprehensive and flexible parameters to seamlessly adjust time horizons and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) to assess the impacts and uncertainties associated with different climate change scenarios.

Joss Matthewman, Senior Director, Product Management, RMS, said: “Rigorous and reliable climate change risk analytics are vital for all businesses right now. This is not just about contributing to increased regulation and financial disclosures, but also providing clients with strategic insights and outcomes for short-, medium- and long-term horizons. We are pleased to continue our work with Canopius, and we see more companies across the insurance and reinsurance industry defining best practices around climate change and investing in the future of our industry.”

Paul Wilkinson, Head of Aggregation and Risk Strategy, Canopius said: “Climate change presents one of the most significant risks to the (re)insurance industry. It is important to us to incorporate the latest science relating to climate change into our risk analytics in a manner that can be tailored to our needs and fully integrated across key business operations, such as portfolio management, near-term underwriting, and business planning. The RMS models enable adjusting time horizons for the near- and long-term, which, combined with the full flexibility and range of the IPCC’s Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios allows us to confidently assess North Atlantic hurricane climate change risks.”
