Quantitative applied climate economics

Munich Re working with the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy to evaluate the economics of climate risks and opportunities in the insurance sector


Project 5d

LSE Lead: Professor Leonard Smith

Open questions remain in how the insurance sector can exploit and evaluate the wide-ranging and rapidly growing range of 'information' on the economic impacts of future climate change.

This project aims to answer some of those questions by evaluating the skill in short-term to decadal forecasts of weather phenomena relevant to insurance, and assessing the impact of potential application of such forecasts for user groups.
