“There is demand to understand the current #hurricane risk in the context of future #ClimateChange. Persistence is the simplest forecast, and the most widely used benchmark in meteorology [...] instead here we assign exponentially decreasing weights over time”:

In this article, Scott Kehler and Matthieu Desorcy, @weatherlogics.bsky.social, examine the relationship between elevation and the hail-thunderstorm ratio: buff.ly/QrFqvOM #JCRR #DiamondOpenAccess #Insurance #Impact #Resilience #NaturalHazard #Hail #Thunderstorms #Climatology

There is demand to understand the current hurricane risk in the context of future #ClimateChange, and so in this recent #JCRR article, authors Ralf Toumi & Nathan Sparks propose using the hurricane damage index (HurDI) as a measure of the underlying non-stationary risk of hurricanes:

Hail is a major source of insured losses in Canada; it is also responsible for significant agricultural yield losses. In this recent #JCRR paper, authors Scott Kehler and Matthieu Desorcy, @weatherlogics.bsky.social, explore methods to produce a reliable #hail #climatology: buff.ly/QrFqvOM

#JCRR RESEARCH ARTICLE NOTIFICATION: In this article, authors Ralf Toumi and Nathan Sparks, Imperial College London, explore the use of the hurricane damage index (HurDI) to measure the underlying non-stationary risk of #hurricanes across the continental U.S.: buff.ly/2q9JntF #DiamondOpenAccess

The clustering of #hurricanes throughout the Contiguous United States is a poignant topic for risk carriers with interests throughout the US; the results of this recent #JCRR research article could inform decisions surrounding outwards reinsurance purchasing: buff.ly/kPITHaM #ClimateChange

A repeat of the 1990 to 2023 #TropicalCyclone season today would result in significantly higher insured losses as a consequence of exposure growth, sea-level rise, and a climate ~0.5°C warmer than 1990: buff.ly/DzHS5Vm #DiamondOpenAccess #ClimateChange #ClimateRisk #Hurricane

#JCRR RESEARCH ARTICLE NOTIFICATION: Our latest peer-reviewed research, “Catastrophe risk models as quantitative tools for climate change loss and damage: A demonstration for flood in Malawi, Vietnam, and the Philippines”, is now live: buff.ly/YaKaxYX  #DiamondOpenAccess #ClimateChange #ClimateRisk

In our latest #JCRR article, “What is the Future of State-Created Insurance Programmes?”, Carolyn Kousky, Environmental Defense Fund, and Hannah K Friedrich, University of Arizona and Cornell University, explore state-created disaster #insurance programmes in the United States:

In this #DiamondOpenAccess #JCRR article, the authors use a +2°C above pre-industrial climate scenario to analyse possible changes to insured losses from a present-day baseline due to #TropicalCyclones in the contiguous U.S.: buff.ly/DzHS5Vm #ClimateChange

In today’s era of uncertainty, it is more important than ever to monitor and model climate hazards - and it is more important than ever to progress catastrophe risk management.  Discover how you can get involved in this mission today: buff.ly/GBHAsRI  #ClimateChange #ClimateRisk #NaturalHazard

“It is getting increasingly difficult for residents in risky areas [in the USA] to find homeowners #insurance from the private market... When this occurs, many residents turn to so-called residual insurance markets or state-established insurance programmes":

Zurich Insurance Group recently published a roadmap outlining options for governments to meet the growing challenges posed by #ClimateChange & natural catastrophes. The report, “Climate risks: Strategies for building resilience in a more volatile world”, can be read here: buff.ly/jcS7zIw
