About this Webinar:

The term ‘hundred-year flood’ isn’t just jargon. It’s a trap. Across Europe, what once happened once a century now occurs closer to every fifty or sixty years, and that window is shrinking.

This panel goes beyond the numbers to examine:

  • Why outdated flood maps and monitoring tools, from national agencies to EU datasets, fail to capture the accelerating climate threat
  • The financial domino effect of underestimating exposure on homeowners, insurers, municipalities, and European capital markets
  • How emerging risk models, from reinsurer analytics to private climate-data firms, are reshaping our understanding and informing smarter decisions
  • How probabilistic language obscures the real scale of flood risk across European rivers and coastlines
