Dr. Amy Snover, director of the UW Climate Impacts Group and the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, will present on Climate Risk in the Pacific Northwest at the virtual 2021 Climate Summit. The summit will be hosted by Washington State Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler on October 6, 2021.

As climate change impacts like wildfire, smoke and flooding are increasing across the Northwest, insurance companies are experiencing increasing property, life and health claims. The Climate Summit brings together a national audience of climate, government and insurance professionals to discuss how climate change is affecting our communities, regulatory efforts and businesses, and what we can do to prepare for increasing risks in a warming climate. Register to hear from Dr. Snover and an exciting lineup of speakers including Washington Representative Joe Fitzgibbon, Washington State Poet Laureate Rena Priest and Director of Yale Program on Climate Change Communication’s Anthony Leiserowitz, among others!
