Traditional catastrophe (CAT) bonds and natural catastrophe (NATCAT) insurance have been excellent risk transfer mechanisms for low frequency severe weather events. However, with the exacerbation of climate change there is an increasing need for alternative products.

Need for Weather Products

More than USD 17.4 bn notional of global weather derivatives were traded in 2024 and the size of the market for climate change related physical risk hedges and protection is anticipated to grow in line with rising climate change, compound events that create larger damage, and similar phenomena described by the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change’s (IPCC’s) 6th Assessment Report.

The expansion of electronic trading platforms and improved regulatory frameworks have facilitated the trading of these derivatives through better market accessibility, liquidity, and transparency.
