Sharing of Climate Risks across World Regions

Emmerling, Johannes - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014

Uncertainty is prevalent in the context of climate change impacts. Moreover, the distribution across the globe is not uniform. We analyze how climate risks could be reduced via an insurance scheme at the global scale across regions and quantify the potential welfare gains from such a scheme....
