Sustainable development in the face of climate change in LAC is as much threatened by the uncontrolled grwoth of the urban areas, and the growth of the urban areas, and the growth of urban poverty and precariousness, as by urban environmental degradation...

Like its peers SCOR is not a heavy contributor to climate change as its activity doesn't pollute that much, Still it is difficult to disseminate an environmental culture within a company if no concrete actions are taken. That is partly why SCOR's main locations have already launched various...

The Catlin Arctic Survey is an international collaboration between polar explorers and scientists. The primary aims: To gather data about the thickness and density of Arctic Ocean see ice that could only be gathered by polar explorers, For scientists to use this data to predict with greater...

Implementing adaption measures are required to reduce society's vulnerability to climate risk and maintain the risk at manageable levels. These measures will help ensure the long-term availability and affordability of insurance...

Help to improve understanding of CC impacts i.e. High quality in risk measurement and risk assessment (GEO). Use knowledge to turn risk into value/generate opportunities from CC. Development of New products and Services: innovative solutions, risk transfer schemes complementary to traditional...

The "climate revolution" will assist product development; Role of insurance tackling climate change needs to be further established; Expand insurance penetration; Insurance is a part of solution...

Great complexity for converting knowledge of climate change effects into future loss estimates; A substantial part of climate change exposure depends on the (future!) development of the legal systems around the world; Insurance industry seen as "deep pocket" by some parties in the hunt for...

First, we must insist that the "Best Science" is informing our understanding of the future risks, and how these risks are apportioned across different geographies and amongst different stakeholders. We need for this science to be both objective and robust as there are significant uncertainties...

By using a choice experiment, this paper focuses on citizens’ preferences for effort-sharingrules of how carbon abatement should be shared among countries. We find that Swedes do notrank the rule favoring their own country highest. Instead, they prefer the rule where allcountries are allowed...

There is currently much hope about environmental innovation and green technologies, notablyas a response to the threat of climate change. This paper offers a critical perspective on the roleof technological innovation to solving environmental problems, based on considering empiricaleconomic...
