This study develops an innovative insurance rate modelling framework that integrates climate projection data into actuarial pricing mechanisms to mitigate escalating risks posed by extreme weather events. Characterizing weather variability as a compound Poisson stochastic process with jump-diffusion components, it quantifies catastrophe intensity and duration patterns using a 2000–2023 historical meteorological dataset, and integrates expected shortfall (ES) with value-at-risk (VaR) methodologies to construct dynamic risk indices. Premium calibration is achieved via 10,000 Monte Carlo climate scenario simulations, complemented by sensitivity tests on temperature thresholds (Δ2–5°C), rainfall variability (±30%) and catastrophe recurrence cycles (5–20 years). Empirical validation with agricultural insurance cases demonstrates 92.3% predictive accuracy for typhoon-related losses and an 18.7% improvement in flood risk mitigation through adaptive deductibles. The model optimizes underwriting strategies via machine learning-enhanced climate pattern recognition and supports public disaster resilience planning, enabling insurers to develop climate-adaptive products, optimize capital allocation and enhance market sustainability amid environmental uncertainties.
