How do the three different default models for cat bonds (index-based, etc.) influence the risk assessment and pricing strategies of both issuers and investors?

Cat bonds offer high returns (around 6% average annual return since 1996) but carry significant risk. While the annual loss rate is below 3% over three decades, with only 8% of bonds not fully repaid, recent data shows 68 of 729 cat bonds issued in the last ten years experienced partial or total default, totaling €4.4 billion. This risk is amplified by the fact that underlying statistical models might be outdated due to climate change.
