The CARE Chair at the 2026 International Congress of Actuaries in Tokyo

The Insurability of Emerging Risks Chair (CARE) will take part in the 33rd International Congress of Actuaries, held from 8 to 13 November 2026 in Tokyo. This international gathering will provide an opportunity to present three research projects focusing on natural catastrophe modelling, cyber insurance and generative artificial intelligence.

Three presentations on emerging risks

The CARE Chair’s research will be represented through three presentations:

• Richard Ahouansou will present “Neural network estimation of extreme value copulas with applications to the analysis of natural disasters”, exploring the estimation of extreme value copulas using neural networks, with applications to natural disaster analysis.
• Daniel Nkameni will present “Index insurance under demand and solvency constraints: an application to cyber insurance”, examining index-based insurance under demand and solvency constraints, with an application to cyber insurance.
• Olivier Lopez will present “Generative AI for scenario simulation of extreme events”, focusing on the use of generative artificial intelligence to simulate extreme event scenarios.

Daniel Nkameni, finalist in the Actuaries World Cup

The congress will also feature Daniel Nkameni’s participation in the final of the Actuaries World Cup. He will present his research on parametric insurance for emerging risks, co-funded by the CARE Chair.

This research includes work conducted with Olivier Lopez, with several papers offering further insights into the challenges surrounding these insurance mechanisms.

The CARE Chair: advancing the insurability of emerging risks

Established through a partnership between Allianz France and ENSAE Paris, and hosted by the Fondation du Risque within the Institut Louis Bachelier ecosystem, the CARE Chair supports the insurance sector’s transformation in response to climate risks.

Its participation in the Tokyo congress will help disseminate its research internationally and foster dialogue between researchers and actuarial professionals on evolving risks and insurance solutions.
