The focus of the 'climate change debate' has begun to shift from 'what if?' to 'what should we do?'. The scale of losses from weather related disasters in the past decade has been unprecedented. The European windstorms of 1987 and 1990; Hurricane Andrew in 1992; the US Midwest flood in 1993 and heavy flooding in China in 1996 have caused considerable uncertainty about the behaviour of extreme weather events. Their potential impact on the insurance industry is even less well understood Climate, Change and Risk presents an overview of climatic hazards and climate change, focusing on societal responses, insurance and methodologies for analysis. Drawing on primary research from leading researchers worldwide, this volume explores the potential sensitivity to changes in weather hazards that might be expected with climate change. Present hazard vulnerability and risk are often poorly understood and changes in disaster management are crucial. Climate, Change and Risk stresses that disaster managers must adapt their policies to new climatic conditions and continue monitoring trends to detect significant shifts in risk and respond appropriately.
This volume advances significantly our understanding of the rapidly emerging knowledge on extreme events related to climate variability and change. It should be read by climate specialists, natural hazard experts and climate policy makers in all parts of the world.
