Close Quarter with Swiss Re’s Nikhil da Victoria Lobo

Welcome to the latest episode of Close Quarter with Nikhil da Victoria Lobo, head of Western and Southern Europe (WSE) at Swiss Re.

Climate change poses a huge long-term risk to the global economy and is therefore at the forefront of da Victoria Lobo’s mind. 

Following the publication of Swiss Re’s recent report – “The economics of climate change” – we invite da Victoria Lobo to share his thoughts on the expansive impact of climate change, in particular in relation to the WSE region.

During the interview, we discuss:

  • Climate change as the biggest long-term risk to the global economy
  • Natural catastrophes and secondary perils
  • The issue of subsidence in France
  • Why the industry needs to react now to support climate resilience

“I wanted to be at a place where I could drive transformative change, not just talk about transformative change”
