Climate losses keep concentrating in perils insurance does not cover — heat, non-damage business interruption, drought — so each event transfers cost directly onto corporate balance sheets and public budgets rather than reinsurers, and the widening gap forces new coverage products, mandatory schemes and state backstops.

The Red Cross appealed for $31 million to cover Nepal-Tibet flood relief, with China supplying military logistics at the Gyirong crossing, meaning the loss is being absorbed by aid appeals and state budgets rather than by insurance in a region with negligible catastrophe cover.
The Nepal-Tibet glacial collapse killed at least 165 with more than 1,000 missing, and the USGS attributed the seismic signal to the ice and debris flow rather than an earthquake. That attribution matters commercially: losses classified as glacial-lake or debris-flow rather than earthquake fall outside standard seismic cover, pushing the cost onto public budgets and operators exactly as this thesis describes.

Heat, Fire and Quake Losses Land on Public Budgets From Nevada to Sumatra
Heat, fire and quake losses are landing directly on public budgets from Nevada to Sumatra, with up to 90,000 people urged to evacuate a fast-growing, uncontained wildfire near Reno, exemplifying costs falling outside insurance mechanisms.
