Horvath hosted a statewide convening with the British Consulate-General Los Angeles to advance climate-risk insurance strategies and wildfire-resilience solutions for communities across California.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith climate disasters intensifying and wildfire recovery becoming a year-round reality in California, today&#8217;s\u00a0conversation underscores what\u2019s possible when we bring together global expertise and local commitment,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWe are grateful to our partners at the British Consulate-General and the leaders across government, academia, and the insurance sector who joined us to explore a climate-risk insurance model that meets the moment.\u00a0 The lessons gathered, coupled with the recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Climate Action and Fire Safe Recovery, offer an actionable roadmap. Los Angeles County is committed to building a more resilient future \u2014 one where communities can recover faster, families can rebuild with dignity, and our systems are prepared for the next emergency before it arrives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The gathering brought together experts from government, academia, finance, the insurance sector, and the resilience community to examine lessons from the United Kingdom\u2019s Flood Re model and explore how similar frameworks can support recovery, rebuilding, and long-term protection in fire-impacted regions of California.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur changing environment impacts us all,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Paul J. Rennie, His Majesty&#8217;s Consul General in Los Angeles<\/strong>. \u201cWhich is why it is so important for us to share knowledge amongst friends and partners, and work together to find solutions for this common challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While building a shared vision for climate-risk insurance innovation, the summit tied directly into the recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Climate Action and Fire-Safe Recovery, convened by Supervisor Horvath. The Commission\u2019s final report outlines new governance structures, resilient building standards, hardening of critical infrastructure, and financing strategies to support insurability and equitable recovery across Los Angeles County.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalifornia\u2019s insurance challenges aren\u2019t just an insurance issue; they\u2019re an economic one,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Hunter Maats, CEO of Resilience Investments<\/strong>, an asset manager focused on resilient affordable housing. \u201cInsurability is the foundation of investability. When coverage becomes unstable, it puts at risk homeowners\u2019 primary source of wealth and the property-tax base that funds schools and local services. By bringing together international expertise and a broad coalition of stakeholders, Supervisor Horvath and Consul General Paul Rennie are doing more than trying to fix an insurance problem. They\u2019re working to safeguard California\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This convening represents the next step in a broader effort under Supervisor Horvath\u2019s leadership to reform how our region anticipates and responds to wildfire threats \u2014 ensuring that insurance markets remain viable, communities recover with dignity after disaster, and Los Angeles County remains a leader in climate-resilient governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES, CA November 6, 2025&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ca-local"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=77036"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77036\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77037,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77036\/revisions\/77037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=77036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=77036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=77036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
