We introduce a class of quantile-based risk measures that generalize Value at Risk (VaR) and, likewise Expected … probability of occurrence. The corresponding risk measure, called Loss VaR (LVaR), determines the minimal capital injection that … and applications to capital adequacy, portfolio risk management and catastrophic risk are presented …

The severity of extreme weather events is increasing due to climate change, giving rise to physical climate risk …. However, physical climate risk is not only driven by the severity of individual hazards, but also by the interdependence of …/Snow, Landslide, Tornado, and Wildfire.
