Description

This study makes several groundbreaking advances in the area of climate impact assessment by using state-of-the-art modelling techniques combined with expert knowledge in the fields of climate, meteorology, hydrology and actuarial science. The report provides a detailed analysis of the potential impact from a changing climate on insured risk for insurers and other stakeholders through its effects on precipitation-induced inland floods in Great Britain, winter windstorms in the United Kingdom, and typhoons in China.
