Close Quarter with Swiss Re's Frank Reichelt

Welcome to a new edition of Close Quarter with Frank Reichelt, head of Northern, Central and Eastern Europe at Swiss Re since 2018. 

In this episode, we invite our guest to discuss the compelling issue of climate change and how it relates to his markets, as well as the reinsurer’s sustainability solutions, climate change research and product development.

“If we don’t take any action on climate change, this will lead to a drop of 18 percent of global GDP by the middle of the century. This is a huge impact.”

During the interview, we cover:

  • The impact of climate change on Europe’s economy
  • The insurability of extreme weather events in Germany
  • How Swiss Re is supporting clients on climate change

Held following the publication of Swiss Re’s recent report – The economics of climate change – our interview is essential viewing for anyone interested in climate change and the long-term risk it poses to the global economy.
