By Ilan Noy & Belinda Storey*The number of climate change-related extreme weather events is on the rise, making it harder for many people to buy affordable home insurance. The industry has already signalled it is pulling out of some places in Aotearoa New Zealand, leaving the government and homeowners to question what happens next. This is not something that should be ignored, or met with ad-hoc, unplanned responses.

Two years ago, when the curtain fell on the COP27 summit in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, developing nations on the frontline of climate change had something meaningful to celebrate. The creation of a new fund for responding to loss and damage was agreed after a hard-fought diplomatic effort, spearheaded by a group of small island developing states (sometimes known as the Sids).

For this study, authors collected data from all available Extreme Event Attribution (EEA) studies, combined these with data on the socio-economic costs of these events and extrapolated for missing data to arrive at an estimate of the global costs of extreme weather attributable to climate change in the last twenty years. Extreme weather events lead to significant adverse societal costs.

AbstractThe representation of Economics in IPCC Assessment Reports (ARs) has evolved over time and is currently declining. This is especially noticeable in Working Group 2 (WGII), where economists were never very well represented. It is also noticeable that the economists who have participated in the writing of the recent ARs are typically not employed in traditional academic economics departments and are therefore not operating in the mainstream of the profession.

AbstractExtreme weather events lead to significant adverse societal costs. Extreme Event Attribution (EEA), a methodology that examines how anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions had changed the occurrence of specific extreme weather events, allows us to quantify the climate change-induced component of these costs.
