The report for the ABI, which included predictions from the Met Office, studied the financial effect of temperature increases of 2C, 4C and 6C.
Based on a 4C rise, the average annual insured losses from river flooding and flash floods in the UK could rise by 14% to £633m by 2060. Windstorm losses could rise by 25% to £827m each year.
However, in the south-west of England, flood damage losses could increase by 29%.
