用AI生成未来干旱模拟图,帮保险公司应对长期气候风险。
A Wasserstein GAN-based climate scenario generator for risk management and insurance: the case of soil subsidence

- 基于条件GAN生成法国土壤湿度指数的时空演化路径。
- 可模拟至2050年干旱传播模式,支持长期风险管理决策。
- 适用于保险、气候风险评估等需长期场景生成的领域。
根据联合国减少灾害风险办公室(2025)报告,自然灾害平均年损失从1970至2000年的700亿至800亿美元上升至2001至2020年的1800亿至2000亿美元。国际保险组织与世界自然基金会指出,保险业需制定超越偿付能力II一年监管周期的中长期战略。本文提出基于条件生成对抗网络(Conditional GANs)的人工智能框架SwiGAN,用于生成气候指数的未来时空轨迹,聚焦法国用于评估干旱严重性的土壤湿度指数(SWI)。干旱占法国自然灾害保险赔付金额约30%。该模型可模拟法国高风险地区至2050年的合理干旱演变路径,通过生成真实的SWI地图序列,揭示气候变化下干旱动态,支持适应性风险管理和保险策略设计。该方法亦可推广至其他气候相关风险及精算场景生成应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (2025), the average annual cost of natural catastrophes increased from 70--80 billion USD between 1970 and 2000 to 180--200 billion USD between 2001 and 2020. Reports from organizations such as the IFOA and the WWF highlight the need for the insurance sector to adapt to this rapidly evolving context by developing medium- to long-term strategies that go beyond the one-year horizon of prudential regulations such as Solvency II. This paper introduces an artificial intelligence framework based on Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (Conditional GANs) to generate future spatio-temporal trajectories of climatic indices. The approach focuses on the Soil Wetness Index (SWI), a key indicator used in France to assess drought severity. Drought accounts for approximately 30% of the indemnities paid under the French natural catastrophe insurance scheme. The proposed model, SwiGAN, simulates plausible drought propagation patterns up to 2050 for a region of France particularly exposed to this hazard. By generating realistic sequences of SWI maps, SwiGAN provides insights into drought dynamics under climate change scenarios and supports the design of adaptive risk management and insurance strategies. The methodology is also generalizable to other climate-related perils and actuarial applications such as economic scenario generation.
