Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Increasing stress on disaster-risk finance due to large floods

Notes: Sumario: Recent major flood disasters have shown that single extreme events can afect multiple countries simultaneously, which puts high pressure on trans-national risk reduction and risk transfer mechanisms. So far, little is known about such flood hazard interdependencies across regions and the corresponding joint risks at regional to continental scales. Reliable information on correlated loss probabilities is crucial for eveloping robust insurance schemes5 and public adaptation funds, and for enhancing our understanding of climate change impactsRelated records: En: Nature Climate Change. - Macmillan Publishers Limited. - p. 1-5 ; 2 March 2014Materia / lugar / evento: Inundaciones Climatología Catástrofes naturales Seguro de riesgos extraordinarios Otros autores: Jongman, Brenden
