As part of Lloyd’s 360 Risk Insight, created to generate discussion on how best to manage risk in today’s business environment, Lloyd’s has produced several research reports on the impact of climate change:
- The report 'Adapt or Bust' published in June 2006 addresses the issues and impact of climate change and the steps the insurance industry might take to prepare for the increasing volatility of the climate.
- The Lloyd’s report entitled 'What Next on Climate Change' was produced in October 2006 following the successful 360 Live Debate that summer.

- Building on its previous work and working with leading climate change scientists, Lloyd’s produced a third report entitled 'Rapid Climate Change' published in April 2007. This report explores what climate change could mean in our lifetime in four areas of particular concern to the insurance industry; sea level rise, melting ice caps, flooding, and drought.
