Climate change risk assessment involves formal analysis of the consequences, likelihoods and responses to impacts climate options for addressing these under societal constraints. Conventional approaches are challenged by significant temporal spatial dynamics change; amplification risks through preferences values; interaction multiple factors. This paper introduces theme issue reviewing current practice frontiers assessment, with specific emphasis on development adaptation policy that aims...
Abstract Recent evidence shows that climate change is leading to irreversible and existential impacts on vulnerable communities countries across the globe. Among other effects, this has given rise public debate engagement around notions of crisis emergency. The Loss Damage (L&D) policy emphasized these aspects over last three decades. Yet, despite institutionalization through an article L&D by United Nations Framework Convention Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Paris Agreement, remained...
Improving flood resilience of communities requires a holistic understanding risks and options as well the preferences priorities different stakeholders. Innovations in risk assessment have helped to identify gaps their management strategy but selecting implementing solutions remains big challenge for many decision-makers. In addition traditional appraisals cost-benefit assessments this also calls participatory process which various stakeholders are encouraged adopt system-level approach...
Abstract Flooding is the largest natural disaster risk in England and it expected to rise even further with a changing climate. Agreeing on how we pay for this now future challenge, competing drivers such as fairness, economic efficiency, political feasibility public acceptance all playing their part. We investigate context of recent efforts reform provision flood insurance, which have been debated between government industry over last three years. Recognising challenge rising losses...
The provision of flood insurance is a patchwork, with countries showing varying degrees penetration, coverage types, demand levels, and design structures.This article explores the current understanding specific focus on ability to contribute direct risk reduction.The starting point consideration existing insurance, both in established markets developing countries.A review efforts analyse explain use highlights how supply determinants steadily growing, while clear gaps also...
Abstract Improving society's ability to prepare for, respond and recover from flooding requires integrated, anticipatory flood risk management (FRM). However, most countries still focus their efforts on responding events if when they occur rather than addressing current future vulnerability flooding. Flood insurance is one mechanism that could promote a more ex ante approach by supporting reduction activities. This paper uses an adapted version of Easton's System Theory investigate the role...
Abstract In light of increasing losses from floods, many researchers and policymakers are looking for ways to encourage flood risk reduction among communities, business, households. this study, we investigate risk‐reduction behavior at the household level in three European Union Member States with fundamentally different insurance compensation schemes. We try understand if how public assistance influence private behavior. Data were collected using a telephone survey ( n = 1,849)...
Abstract. In March 2015, a new international blueprint for disaster risk reduction (DRR) was adopted in Sendai, Japan, at the end of Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR, 14–18 2015). We review and discuss agreed commitments targets, as well negotiation leading Sendai Framework DRR (SFDRR) briefly its implication later UN-led negotiations sustainable development goals climate change.
Multisectoral partnerships are increasingly cited as a mechanism to deliver and improve disaster risk management. Yet, not panacea more research is required understand the role that they can play in management particularly reduction. This paper investigates how incentivise flood reduction by focusing on UK public-private partnership insurance. Developing right insurance arrangements adaptation climate change key challenge. In face of rising risks due socio-economic development no longer...
Loss and damage (L&D) of climate change is a relatively new work stream the international regime. Lacking clear official definition, L&D has triggered debate about framing topic, incorporating technical aspects disaster risk reduction (DRR) adaptation as well political considerations such idea compensation for vulnerable countries. This paper reviews implications decision-making with special focus on role science. We identify three broad policy goals embedded in discussion: creating...
Abstract Flood Re is widely hailed as an innovative approach to disaster risk insurance. This article offers a mixed‐methods evaluation of the new pool, asking whether it “fit for purpose” and future.” The investigation considers roles public private sectors, modeling communication, technical underwriting, distributional aspects, behavioral implications Re, particularly with regards reduction prevention. concludes that pool transitional reinsurance arrangement supports insurance market...
