Climate change is destabilizing the insurance market, with some insurers
pulling out of areas heavily impacted by extreme weather. In response,
the Treasury Department is calling on insurers and state regulators to
ramp up their efforts to evaluate risks posed by climate change.
POLITICO’s Jasper Goodman breaks down the department’s new
recommendations and the Biden administration’s wider effort to address
climate-related financial risk. Plus, one of the top auto
standards-making bodies announced it would standardize Tesla’s charging
technology.
