Rebuilding Stronger Homes

As extreme weather events become more frequent, home insurance claims are rising. These losses undermine Canadians’ financial security and emotional well-being. Collaborating with Innovation North, Co-operators will reimagine the role of home insurance to catalyze a circular economy. This research will not only contribute to the very practical outcomes of catalyzing change within the insurance industry, it will also help to better understand how insurance companies can overcome the tension of the increased short-term costs of building homes differently for sustainability and resiliency with the long-term costs related to increased climate change-related weather events.
