Impact verdict
Low impact. Loss pathway: Life & Health insurance claims from excess mortality during heatwaves. Evidence: No insured property damage, business interruption, or quantified insured loss figures are reported; only excess mortality is noted. Limit: Heatwave mortality events do not typically generate insured property or commercial losses at scale reaching USD 100m. Casualty totals alone are not a sufficient route to insured market loss at the MEDIUM or HIGH threshold.
