Global insured losses were fourth highest on record at $53 billion, elevated by U.S. severe convective storms LONDON, July 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today published its Global Catastrophe Recap: First Half (1H) of 2023, revealing a preliminary estimate of $194 billion in economic losses stemming from global natural disasters. Notably, this is above the 1H average of $128 billion for the 21st century, the fifth highest on record and the highest since 2011. The earthquakes in Turkey and Syria during the first quarter of 2023 were responsible for nearly half of the total economic losses, estimated at $91 billion. The event also became the deadliest global disaster since 2010 and the costliest in both countries' modern histories. As a result, economic losses in the EMEA region were unprecedented at $111 billion, far exceeding the previous 1H record of $71 billion set in 1990. The event showed that regulation and enforcement of modern building codes are of critical importance to prevent material losses and fatalities. Despite relatively strict and modern building codes currently in place in Turkey, structural integrity and performance varied in the affected regions. Many of the collapsed buildings were built relatively recently, with many total collapses of newly built multi-story residential buildings. "Despite the reality that communities globally remain at risk to catastrophes, only about 27 percent of economic losses this year have been insured. These devastating events reinforce the importance of resilience and the mitigation of risk – such as enforcing building codes, which was highlighted by the Turkey and Syria earthquakes," said Michal Lörinc, head of Catastrophe Insight, Aon. "As we continue to face interconnected risks, we are focused on scaling risk mitigation and helping organizations make better decisions to close the global protection gap and enrich lives around the world." While the earthquake event was the costliest from an insurance perspective, severe convective storm (SCS) activity in the United States dominated global losses during this period. In the first half of 2023, U.S. SCS activity was responsible for at least 13 individual billion-dollar events and $35 billion in total preliminary insured losses, setting a new 1H record. Additional highlights from the report include: Two back-to-back, billion-dollar disasters impacted the North Island of New Zealand within a three-week period in the first quarter of 2023: remnants of Cyclone Gabriele and severe flooding in Auckland. These events are ranked as the fifth and sixth costliest events for insured losses in New Zealand overall, only surpassed by the earthquakes of 2010, 2011 and 2016. Prolonged wildfire activity across multiple Canadian provinces resulted in more than 10 million hectares of land being burned, and thick smoke plumes generated hazardous air conditions with potentially significant health impacts for tens of millions of people across North America. While some populated areas were affected with an estimate of hundreds of millions in economic losses – notably on the outskirts of Halifax in Nova Scotia by the Tantallon wildfire – the vast majority of the fires did not cause significant material damage to property. This year's economic losses of $194 billion already constitute 60 percent of the average annual global total. Global insured losses from natural disaster events in 1H 2023 were $53 billion, preliminarily 46 percent above the 21st-century average. Disaster costs continued to be affected by inflationary pressure, still persistent in many parts of the world, as well as other societal factors including demographics and wealth distribution that remain a major driver of financial loss. Notable heatwaves occurred worldwide, with the global sea surface temperature extremely high: recorded temperatures this year were higher than in any previous year since 1981. In the first half of the year, some areas experienced water temperatures of up to 5˚Celsius, or 9˚ Fahrenheit, higher than usual. This trend is continuing into the second half of the year.

The company is building infrastructure for social knowledge aggregation SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, June 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Decentralized infrastructure provider Intuition has raised $4 million in a seed round fundraise led by Superscrypt. The raise comes as Intuition approaches the public launch of its protocol and first applications later this year. Intuition lets users create attestations about any subject, storing the information in such a way that it's easily navigable, queryable, and leveraged by other applications. Intuition's founder, Ethereum veteran Billy Luedtke, explains that the protocol was created to capture the wisdom of crowds about everything, while making that wisdom available and open to everyone. "Today, determining truth to make informed decisions is a complex and difficult task," says Jacob Ko, Partner at Superscrypt. According to Ko, "Information is largely concentrated in big tech platforms, search and curation algorithms are opaque, and identity and reputation standards are too fragmented to provide strong signals. Intuition's approach of incentivizing crowdsourced knowledge and opinions from users in a globally inclusive and decentralized way will fuel better understanding of any person, ID or topic. It has the potential to change the way we disseminate, consume and understand information and we're excited to back a team with deep experience working on data interoperability and digital identity." Other participants in the round include Shima Capital, Avon Ventures, WW Ventures, Matrixport Ventures, Polygon Ventures, and ConsenSys, along with several other VC, DAO, and angel investors. This round follows a fundraise last November co-led by Andrew Keys, founder of DARMA Capital, and Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of ConsenSys. Intuition's Seed Round Investors Whereas decentralized identity has largely focused on high sensitivity credentials, like KYC and the identities of people, Intuition facilitates robust decentralized identity that pertains to all things. "Nearly everything can and should have decentralized identifiers (DIDs)," Luedtke explains. "Whether that's a person, pseudonym, web3 product, organization, or even a news article." According to Luedtke, "We presently rely on a fundamentally flawed system of siloed, centralized platforms such as Yelp, LinkedIn, and Twitter to inform our intuition about the world around us. These platforms shape our perception with fragmented, incomplete, and occasionally misleading information." As a protocol, Intuition doesn't take a view on whether something is true or false, but instead captures and shows what people are saying about a thing. By allowing people to freely share their opinions about any subject, and verifiably attaching that data to DIDs in an open knowledge graph, Luedtke hopes to improve the reputation and identity data that we societally have access to regarding the things we're interacting with every day. "Our digital identities form the bedrock of a flourishing data-driven economy and society. However, the vast reservoir of digital knowledge on the internet still exists in a disparate and incomplete state. For a future free from these fractured conditions, we require purpose-built infrastructure that fosters the creation and seamless access to consolidated, trustworthy, and permissionless information. Anchored by an exceptional team, Intuition harnesses web3 primitives to align ownership and incentives, driving forward this transformative vision. I am thrilled to support their journey towards this exciting future," said Alex Lin, Head of Research and Investor at Shima Capital. Intuition's protocol and middleware allow developers to easily integrate the company's attestations and knowledge graph into their own applications. Intuition will initially launch with a knowledge graph explorer built atop the protocol, and will directly display human-readable data regarding wallet addresses inside popular web wallets.

New framework brings together Aon's Risk Capital and Human Capital data with public sentiment analysis from Gallup to create a portfolio view of risk Creates further clarity into how risks compound across four megatrends, how resilience is built and activated and where targeted actions can most effectively influence performance DUBLIN, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, announced today that it is releasing insights from a new, data-driven tool to help organizations build sustainable resilience and unlock growth: Aon's Resilience Quotient. Developed in collaboration with Gallup, Aon's Resilience Quotient responds to a critical insight: in a time of increasing populism and fragmented sources of information, quantitative data alone is not enough to make long-term decisions. Combining public sentiment on global issues with risk and people data and analytics enables greater clarity and confidence to invest and grow amidst uncertainty and volatility. By integrating Aon's proprietary Risk Capital and Human Capital analytics with the results of Gallup's World Poll covering 140 countries for more than 20 years, the firm's Resilience Quotient captures both objective conditions and subjective sentiment, revealing where sentiment signals hidden risks and potential opportunities to achieve greater resilience. This system-level view enables leaders to spot emerging risks sooner, prioritize resilience investments and move from reactive risk management to proactive decision-making. "When making decisions around investment, workforce or managing geopolitical risk, a portfolio view is far superior to a siloed perspective," said Greg Case, president and CEO of Aon. "Understanding sentiment can be an opportunity signal or an early warning. Leaders who are limited to only some of the relevant metrics risk missing the signals that matter most. Aon's Resilience Quotient delivers an integrated view to help organizations act decisively, strengthen resilience and unlock sustainable growth." Four interconnected megatrends – Trade, Technology, Weather and Workforce – are reshaping the global operating environment in ways that traditional models struggle to anticipate. Aon's Resilience Quotient provides a clearer view of the tradeoffs within these interactions: how trade volatility can amplify technology risk, how climate pressures influence workforce mobility and how sentiment can either reinforce resilience or heighten operational risk, even when the fundamentals appear strong. To illustrate the insights from its Resilience Quotient, the firm published three case studies addressing some of the most relevant and urgent issues facing the 2026 global economy: Realizing the Opportunity of AI: Securing Data Center GrowthData centers are the backbone of the digital economy and with nearly $1.3 trillion projected to be invested globally in data centers by 2030, their rapid expansion brings unprecedented risks. Aon's Resilience Quotient shows that resilience varies sharply at the sub-national level, often more than underlying risk. Within the U.S., Iowa emerges as the most resilient destination for data center development, combining very low overall risk with exceptionally strong trade and weather resilience."Aon's Resilience Quotient shows that Iowa's resilience–risk balance is roughly twice the national median, demonstrating how governance quality, institutional confidence and preparedness materially shape long-term infrastructure outcomes," said Joe Peiser, CEO of Commercial Risk Solutions at Aon. "This underscores the opportunity for leaders who understand the combined effect of low risk, resilient trade and weather systems and a strong foundation of public trust — factors that ultimately determine where AI infrastructure can grow at scale." Workforce Transformation: AI Adoption and the Next Generation Workforce The acceleration of AI adoption is transforming the workforce, but most organizations face a critical gap between the demand for AI skills and their readiness to adapt. The Resilience Quotient highlights how workforce engagement, trust and institutional preparedness are essential to harnessing AI's potential, making resilience the key differentiator between organizations that thrive through change and those that risk falling behind."Aon's Resilience Quotient equips leaders to navigate rapid AI change with confidence," said Lisa Stevens, chief administrative officer at Aon. "These insights help create the conditions for early‑career employees to build the skills and confidence they need — so instead of losing a generation of talent, we cultivate one that is more capable and resilient than ever." Rethinking Humanitarian Finance: A New Approach to Forced MigrationOver 120 million people are currently displaced by conflict, climate and systemic crises, reshaping societies and economies worldwide. Aon's Resilience Quotient highlights Venezuela and Colombia to illustrate the tradeoffs between investing resources at the source of migration — supporting those facing institutional erosion, food insecurity and economic collapse — or directing investment to more stable countries like Colombia that are absorbing people fleeing unlivable conditions."Forced displacement results from extreme weather and man-made disasters like conflict and economic failure," said Bridget Gainer, chief public affairs officer at Aon. "If we could leverage the forecasting and financial capability of insurance to better predict and more quickly mitigate the impact of this volatility, we could help create conditions that allow populations to remain and rebuild in their home countries." "Resilience is not a single blueprint, it's the way systems mitigate, adapt and transform under pressure. Aon's Resilience Quotient functions as a pressure gauge, surfacing the trade‑offs and early signals that help leaders strengthen resilience where it matters most," said Joe Daly, managing partner at Gallup. "We're proud to collaborate with Aon to combine Gallup's global sentiment analytics with Aon's Risk Capital and Human Capital data, turning confidence into actionable insight." New insights from Aon's Resilience Quotient suggest that going forward, resilience priorities will shift from static risk management to dynamic, localized strategies. As disruptions become more complex and frequent, organizations will need to tailor resilience investments to specific geographies, sectors and even sub-regional contexts. Aon's Resilience Quotient is supported with a real-time analytics and AI-enabled insights platform, built by Quantum Rise, providing deeper visibility into evolving risk and resilience signals as conditions change. Aon and Gallup will join global decision-makers at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting to advance these critical discussions on restoring confidence and unlocking sustainable growth.

Kupcho surges to the top of the season-long standings showcasing exceptional resilience and clutch decision-making NAPLES, Fla., Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, and the LPGA Tour today announced Jennifer Kupcho as the winner of the 2025 Aon Risk Reward Challenge, securing the title in dramatic fashion during the final event of the regular season. Kupcho delivered a remarkable late-season push — highlighted by a pivotal birdie and eagle on the par-5 14th at The ANNIKA — to overtake the field and claim the $1 million prize and Aon Trophy. Kupcho's victory is a defining moment in the seven-year history of the Challenge, underscoring the resilience, grit and strategy that have characterized her season. Entering the week trailing the leaders, Kupcho showcased extraordinary composure under pressure, adjusting her approach on the season's final Challenge hole, attacking the green in two and executing with conviction. The result vaulted her to the top of the standings and cemented her position as the LPGA Tour's most strategic decision maker of 2025. "I'm honored to win the Aon Risk Reward Challenge and to be recognized for the strategy and decision-making that goes into every round," said Kupcho. "It's an incredible feeling to join the list of past champions and to know that my performance this season reflects the values this challenge celebrates." Known for her distance and precision, Kupcho has built a reputation as one of the Tour's fiercest competitors. Since joining the LPGA Tour in 2019, she has captured multiple titles — including her breakthrough major at the Chevron Championship — and has continued to distinguish herself throughout the 2025 season. Her ability to make confident decisions under pressure allowed her to capitalize when it mattered most, culminating in a decisive performance at The ANNIKA. "At Aon, we help clients make better decisions by championing strategic thinking and resilience — qualities that are at the heart of the Aon Risk Reward Challenge," said Jennifer Bell, Executive Chair of North America at Aon. "Our partnership with the LPGA reflects our commitment to supporting excellence and growth, both in business and in the women's game. Congratulations to Jennifer on this outstanding achievement. We're proud to celebrate her success and to continue advancing the future of women's golf together." Kupcho's success this season was rooted in her consistent approach to risk and reward. She went for the green on Aon Risk Reward Challenge holes 68 percent of the time — the fifth-highest rate on the LPGA Tour — and converted those opportunities with a 33 percent success rate, the second-best mark on Tour. Her strategy was particularly strong on Challenge par 4s, where she led the LPGA in both go-for-green rate (58 percent) and success rate (33 percent), demonstrating her ability to take calculated risks and execute with precision. Supported by her 271.6-yard driving average (15th) and ranking of third in strokes gained off the tee on ARRC par 4s (+0.19 per hole), Kupcho routinely positioned herself for advantage. She paired that power with finesse around the green, ranking ninth in strokes gained around the green (+0.13 per hole), a combination that ultimately set the stage for the birdie-eagle finish that clinched her Challenge title. "Jennifer's finish at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican was everything this award is meant to celebrate. The eagle on 14 on Friday wasn't just great golf — it was bold, smart, fearless decision-making in a big moment," said LPGA Commissioner Craig Kessler. "Jennifer has a long history of rising to the occasion, and seeing her step up with that kind of conviction to clinch the Aon Risk Reward title was truly special. We're thrilled for her, and proud to recognize a player whose shot-making and strategy continue to elevate our game." Kupcho adds the Aon Risk Reward Challenge title to her growing list of accomplishments, joining past champions Carlota Ciganda, Hannah Green, Minjee Lee, Angel Yin and Jeeno Thitikul.

19th year of survey reveals cybersecurity remains top concern as workforce-related risks fall on global risk agenda DUBLIN, Oct. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today released the 2025 edition of its Global Risk Management Survey, which has tracked the most-pressing risks for business decision-makers for nearly two decades. The findings reveal a sharp rise in risks associated with geopolitical volatility and a broader shift in how organizations perceive and prioritize risk. Based on responses from nearly 3,000 risk managers, C-suite leaders and executives in 63 countries, geopolitical volatility surged 12 places since the last survey in 2023, breaking into the top ten global risks for the first time in the survey's 19-year history. The rise of risks related to trade and geopolitical challenges reflects growing instability across regions, with implications for supply chains, regulatory environments and financial performance. Despite rising volatility, most organizations remain underprepared: only 14 percent of respondents track their exposure to the top ten risks and only 19 percent use analytics to evaluate the value of their insurance programs. These findings underscore the urgent need for organizations to rethink their approach to risk, moving from reactive measures to proactive, integrated strategies. "The dramatic rise of trade and geopolitical risk highlights a new reality: volatility and uncertainty are now constants for organizations," said Joe Peiser, CEO of Commercial Risk for Aon. "From evolving tariffs to shifting alliances, these forces directly impact organizations' balance sheets. Building resilience through analytics and scenario planning is essential for navigating this environment." 2025 Top Ten Global Risks Cyber Attack or Data Breach Business Interruption Economic Slowdown or Slow Recovery Regulatory or Legislative Changes Increasing Competition Commodity Price Risk or Scarcity of Materials Supply Chain or Distribution Failure Damage to Reputation or Brand Geopolitical Volatility Cash Flow or Liquidity Risk Cyber Risk and AI's Influence: Persistent, Pervasive and Evolving"Cyber Attack or Data Breach" remains the number one current and future risk according to the survey respondents, as the rapid adoption of digital platforms and AI technologies has expanded the attack surface for threat actors. With AI-enhanced cyber incidents on the rise, business leaders are shifting from reactive postures to proactive risk management strategies. "The scale and complexity of cyber risk today is unlike anything we've seen before," said Brent Rieth, Global Cyber Leader for Aon. "Our clients are increasingly using AI both defensively and offensively, to enhance resilience and unlock growth. The key is embedding cyber into board-level strategy, investing in quantification and viewing resilience as a competitive differentiator." Despite its top ranking, only 13 percent of respondents say they have quantified their cyber exposure. This gap between awareness and action is contributing to significant underinsurance, exposing businesses to financial and reputational loss. The report emphasizes the need for structured AI risk governance and integrated cyber resilience frameworks to reduce this gap. Troubling Trend: Workforce Risks Drop from Top RankingsIn 2023, "Failure to Attract and Retain Top Talent" ranked fourth globally on Aon's survey, highlighting Human Capital as a critical business risk. This year, workforce risks dropped out of the top ten, despite ongoing talent shortages and rising healthcare costs. "It's alarming to see workforce risks slip down the rankings when Human Capital challenges remain deeply connected to every aspect of business resilience," said Lisa Stevens, Chief Administrative Officer for Aon. "When you look at the top ten risks in this year's survey – cyber threats, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical volatility – they all have a direct impact on the workforce. Treating these risks as isolated issues creates blind spots for organizations." Stevens continued, "As AI transforms how and where people work, Human Capital strategies become even more critical. Leaders need to invest in analytics, personalization and skills development to keep their workforce agile and resilient in the face of rapid change and increasing volatility." Future Risks Reflect the Growing Influence of Interconnected Megatrends Aon's 2025 survey also provides a forward-looking perspective on the risks business leaders expect to be most critical by 2028. Cyber risk remains the top concern for the future, while AI and climate change join the top ten, reflecting the accelerating impact of technology and extreme weather on global business. Climate change climbs to number nine on the future risk list, underscoring heightened awareness of its threat to financial and operational stability. With 2024 marking the hottest year on record and global insured catastrophe losses exceeding $145 billion, leaders are increasingly treating climate as a systemic business risk. Top 10 Future Risks by 2028 Cyber Attack or Data Breach Economic Slowdown or Slow Recovery Increasing Competition Commodity Price Risk or Scarcity of Materials Geopolitical Volatility Regulatory or Legislative Changes Business Interruption Artificial Intelligence Climate Change Cash Flow or Liquidity Risk "What's striking about this year's future risk rankings is how quickly new forces like AI and climate move to the forefront," said Richard Waterer, Global Risk Consulting Leader for Aon. "These risks don't just add complexity; they fundamentally change how organizations need to think about resilience. The convergence of technology, geopolitics and environmental pressures means leaders must anticipate how these megatrends interact and build strategies that are flexible enough to adapt to whatever comes next."
