The Geneva Association is pleased to announce a special October 2025 issue of The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance on Climate Change and Insurance.
The journal welcomes submissions on a broad range of topics related to climate change and insurance, including but not limited to:
- The role of AI, stochastic and system-based approaches for modelling climate-related financial risks and their implications for the insurance industry
- Insurability challenges for losses resulting from extreme weather events in a changing climate, including social, economic and financial implications, and how to address them
- Behavioural science interventions and public-private collaborations to mitigate underinsurance in the event of higher insurance premiums, especially for lower socio-economic populations
- How the insurance sector can incentivise climate risk reduction, risk prevention and adaptation strategies among various stakeholders
- Innovative insurance solutions for building climate resilience through cross-sectoral partnerships (e.g. between governments, the insurance industry, civil society and the private sector)
- The role of the insurance sector in helping accelerate decarbonisation, including by mobilising capital for climate technologies and through public-private collaboration to drive conducive policies and regulations
- Environmental risks and related liabilities associated with the value chain of mature and emerging climate technologies
- Methods for assessing the carbon footprint (specifically Scope 3) of the insurance industry
Interdisciplinary and cross-collaborative works are strongly encouraged, as well as empirical studies with direct implications for insurers and policymakers.
All contributions will go through a peer-review process. The guest editors for this special issue are Prof. Chris Greig (Princeton University), Dr Maryam Golnaraghi (The Geneva Association) and Prof. Swenja Surminski (LSE and Marsh McLennan). Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission site of The Geneva Papers by 4 October 2024.
