The latest diamond open-access, peer reviewed articles published on the Journal website have set the stage for open conversation and debate on the use and validation of catastrophe models.

The Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience is #DiamondOpenAccess. We don't charge submission fees, and we do not charge for readers to access our content either - but that doesn't make our peer-review process any less robust. Read more: buff.ly/bnWLCEO #JCRR #ClimateChange #ClimateRisk

“Not all climate risk products are created equal.” #ClimateChange is increasing the risk of atmospheric perils - which in turn is causing broader uptake of #CatastropheModels. But as this recently published #JCRR research paper reveals, the range of loss estimates varies: buff.ly/tJJgjdt

“Past experience shows that when insurance prices increase, many homeowners, particularly those with lower incomes, simply drop or reduce coverage and maintain their location choices, leaving them financially vulnerable in the event of flooding”: buff.ly/iI6Itov #FloodRisk #Insurance #ClimateChange

Our reasoning behind the #JCRR ethos is simple: we believe that to address global challenges requires open and transparent data and ideas. Knowledge needs to be shared, and it must be accessible to all. Learn more about our submission process and how you can get involved: buff.ly/muweLmm

Insurance is critical for recovery following climate-related disasters. However, with premium increases in response to the growing cost of climate impacts, there are concerns that coverage may become unaffordable for many households, leading to a decline in #insurance uptake: buff.ly/iI6Itov
