‘Australia must prepare now for climate-related #disasters or pay more later, insurance regulator says’ ~ ⁦@guardian⁩ Question is, who’ll provide leadership to prioritize mitigation? See our paper on an unmitigated disaster: https://t.co/gr4S8vK4fx https:

Right on cue: more inadequate #disaster cost-calculations. Today's @UNDRR overview report only focuses on 3 types of human costs: total number of people affected, deaths & economic losses. I.e. it focuses not on 'human' costs but on statistics & ec

Wildfire cost-calculations rarely include intangible costs to everyday functionality, health, damaged cultural heritage and ecosystems. The result? An unmitigated #disaster that requires a funding shift from response to mitigation for an insurable future:

The @climatecouncil’s new report aligns with our recent paper about Australia’s insurance issues in the context of climate and natural hazard-related disasters. We argue for a shift from #disaster response/recovery to mitigation for an insurable future: ht

Spot on. Seeing non-renewal of insurance policies due to #Campfire. "...best interest of households, governments, and insurers...take responsibility for risk mitigation wherever possible." Risk from fire can be mitigated with fire and fuels reduction, etc.
