Thought Leadership session

A New Era for Closing the Protection Gaps

• As we live through times of change and uncertainty, businesses and consumers worldwide are increasingly experiencing situations in which their health, wealth and income are not adequately protected.
• The direct consequences of gaps in protection represent a major challenge for the well-being of our economy and society.
• Protection gaps are driven by supply-side factors (e.g., insufficient protection from governments and insurers) and demand-side factors (e.g., lack of mitigation or adaptation efforts).
