The insurance sector is only mentioned in a single place in the UN's Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs): I In our view, this does not reflect the actual importance of insurance in this context.
Hi, thank you for this insightful report. Greatly interested by the section on the Fuldauer et al. Nature Comm. paper, I checked the original paper. Unfortunately, the paper itself does not discuss insurance (the word "insurance" does not appear in the paper even once, except in diagrams where it is conflated with finance). You mention that "by integrating resilience-building measures, such as nature-based solutions, into their product offerings, the insurance industry has the potential to safeguard progress towards 81% of the SDG targets". The Fuldauer et al. paper, however, only says that "adapted utility infrastructure sectors can help safeguard 81% of targets". Is there a mistake here, where "utility infrastructure" has become "insurance" in the Allianz report? If not, can you please let me know where you found the insurance-specific data from in the Fuldauer et al. paper (or supplementary materials)? Thank you.
