Climate change is a growing concern as it relates to natural hazards and property damage/infrastructure disruption.   Drought and persistent heat set the stage for extraordinary wildfire seasons in recent years.  Increases in temperatures and the thirst of the atmosphere due to human--caused climate change have increased aridity of forest fuels during the fire season.

Research suggests a continued increase in fire risk and a longer fire season due to the changing climate.  This session will focus on the wildfire hazard in the U.S., future projections and the impact on inland marine insurance exposures.
