Climate change impacts insurers in two major ways:

Asset-side risk:

Insurers invest in real estate, corporate bonds, and infrastructure, all of which face risks from climate change (e.g., property devaluation from flooding).

Liability-side risk:

Insurers must payout more claims due to extreme weather events (e.g., hurricanes, wildfires).

Increased claims raise insurance premiums, but regulatory constraints may prevent full cost recovery.

Why C (Both assets and liabilities) is correct:

Insurers must manage climate-related risks in their investment portfolios (assets) and adjust underwriting policies (liabilities).

Why not A or B?

A (Only assets) is incorrect—liability risks from increased claims are substantial.

B (Only liabilities) ignores the impact of climate risks on insurer investments.
