Opis

This book puts forward the case for a new vision of the role of the insurance industry as climate action enablers and makes proposals for insurance products and risk transfer and loss resilience structures that can support policyholders in their transition to a Net Zero economy. 

Recenzje

"This is an outstanding and innovative book from one of the UK’s leading academic insurance lawyers. The relationship between climate change and insurance is much discussed but this is the first comprehensive study, covering the international regime governing climate change, the liabilities that may arise and their insurability, the development of new insurance products and the incidence of public-private solutions to large scale losses. Fascinating reading for insurers, lawyers, brokers, academics and indeed scientists."

Professor Robert Merkin KC, Professor of Law, University of Reading & Special Counsel, Duncan Cotterill, UK

"This book is an essential and comprehensive reference guide for anyone in the insurance industry who is interested or involved in the intersection of insurance and climate change. It provides thought-provoking views on the role of the insurance industry in addressing the global threat of climate change."

Julian Enoizi, Chief Executive Officer, Guy Carpenter Europe, UK
