Gyeonggi Province's climate insurance program paid roughly four times more heat-related claims in six months than in the entire previous year, as South Korea endured a record-breaking summer. The figures point to extreme heat driving measurable financial losses, with the provincial insurance scheme increasingly acting as a buffer against heat illness linked to intensifying extreme weather.
Why now: A record summer produced an unusually sharp rise in climate insurance claims, highlighting the growing cost of extreme heat.
