Mission
The Association of British Insurers provides consumers with general information on insurance and savings products and services, and promotes best practice, transparency and high standards within the industry.
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.

This study explored the relationship between inland flood defence maintenance and flood defence failure due to breaching (caused by structural failure).
A joint report published today by the Association of British Insurers and Flood Re highlights the vital need to maintain the UK’s flood defences in good condition.
New research reveals that the UK’s current network of river barriers and defences helps prevent £1.1 billion a year in flood damage.
New analysis shows temperature increases of just a small number of degrees are likely to lead to insurance losses for high winds which could be 11%, 23% or even 25% higher nationwide. These temperature changes fall within the long-term projections of what climate change experts expect to happen.
This report assesses the impact of three global temperature scenarios on the frequency and intensity of UK windstorms, focusing on windstorms occurring during the winter.
