Putting communities back on their feet as quickly as possible and in a better state is perhaps the most socially important role played by (re)insurers which directly aligns with AXA’s purpose of advancing human progress by protecting what matters.

Here you will find a catalogue of more than 100 major disaster case studies from across the globe, data visualisations, and the tools needed to assess the impact (re)insurance has played and can play in the complex process of economic and societal recovery from catastrophe.

Our latest report: Optimising Resilience 2024
