Global disaster losses in 2020 reached $4.2 trillion as warming exacerbates extreme weather events

  • 2021-06-21

According to a report released today (28th), insured losses from the world's 10 largest climate-related disasters in 2020 reached US$150 billion (approximately NT$4.2 trillion), exceeding the losses in 2019 and reflecting the long-term impact of global warming. Agence France-Presse reported that these natural disasters claimed at least 3,500 lives and displaced over 13.5 million people. From the raging Australian wildfires in January to the record number of Atlantic hurricanes by November, the actual cost of climate change-induced disasters this year is likely much higher, as most losses are uninsured. Unsurprisingly, these burdens fall disproportionately on poor countries, according to the annual statistical report by the global non-governmental organization Christian Aid, titled "Count the cost of 2020: a year of climate breakdown." The report, citing research published last month in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet, found that only 4% of economic losses from climate-related extreme events in low-income countries were covered by insurance, compared with 60% in high-income economies.
