Insured losses caused by man-made catastrophes worldwide 1970-2021
2001 was the worst year for global insured losses from man-made disasters. The terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, which resulted in the deaths of 2,996 people, is the reason for this. The insurance losses from man-made disasters worldwide amounted to approximately 7.3 billion U.S. dollars in 2021 compared with 39.1 billion U.S. dollars in 2001.
