The robustness of flood insurance regimes given changing risk resulting from climate change
Climate Risk Management, 2014 The changing risk of flooding associated with climate change presents different challenges for the different flood insurance market models in use around the world, which vary in respect of consumer structure and their risk transfer mechanism. A review of
