House of Cards: Florida and Property Insurance in the Age of Climate Change 07/29/2024

House of Cards: Florida and Property Insurance in the Age of Climate Change In episode of , , Associate Vice President for Economics and Policy at the , returns to discuss the climate challenges in Florida's property insurance market. She outlines how Florida faces significant economic risks due to hurricanes and other disasters, with 36 presidential disaster declarations since 2000. The episode delves into the complexities of the state's insurance system, focusing on three key programs: Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, and the Florida Insurance Guarantee Association. Dr. Kousky addresses the reliance on smaller insurance companies; the critical role of reinsurance; and the impact of climate change on insurance pricing and availability. Doug and Carolyn have a broader conversation about the insanity of the Florida system of the existing property insurance market and how it could lead to price gouging for Florida citizens living in less at risk areas of the state. Also, the ‘hot take’ for this episode! Topics covered: Evolution of Florida's Property Insurance Approach State Programs Providing Insurance in Florida The Role of Reinsurers and Insurance Companies Transparency in Catastrophe Modeling in Florida Impact of Sea Level Rise on Florida's Insurance Market Cross-subsidies and Assessments in Florida's Insurance Market Climate Equity and Fair Pricing in Florida's Insurance Market Balancing Risk Reduction and Insurance Access Price gouging inland communities to subsidize coastal communities’ insurance rates Guest Recommendation: , Water Collaborative of Greater New Orleans Transcript of episode available . Quotes from the episode: Dr. Carolyn Kousky: Politically, there's often an appetite to just ignore the risk and not address it because addressing it can be hard and might be costly, but failing to address it is also setting us up for much higher future costs. …we need to view the crisis in our insurance markets as a signal for how high risk is, and that we have to invest aggressively and quickly in much more climate adaptation in order to lower that risk to a manageable level… Doug Parsons: Climate change is like gravity. … there's no arguing with it. It's just going to happen. …but you are living in Gainesville, you're being responsible, you haven't gone to the coast. Isn't raising that person's rate a form of price gouging because you don't have as much risk and yet they're raising your rate , that's price gouging.

“Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat: How to Break the Climate Disaster Cycle" with Mark Nevitt 06/30/2024

“Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat: How to Break the Climate Disaster Cycle" with Mark Nevitt In episode of , , an associate professor of law at Emory University joins the podcast to discuss his new paper that’s under review, entitled, Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat: How to Break the Climate Disaster Cycle. Mark delves into the expansion of climate change law courses and his research on the security implications of climate change. He discusses his articles highlighting legal challenges in climate adaptation and introduces his new article focusing on breaking the climate disaster cycle. Mark emphasizes the importance of democratizing climate risk information and proactive measures like managed retreat. He explores legal liabilities in climate adaptation, the semantics of resilience, and the significance of accurate terminology in conveying climate risks. It’s a packed legally episode along with Doug’s ‘Hot Take’! . Topics covered: The Legal Crisis Within the Climate Crisis Emory's Climate Research Initiative Flying Navy Jets and Legal Scholarship Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat: Overview Democratizing Climate Risk Information The Adaptation Paradox Holding Individuals Responsible for Climate Risk Decisions Adaptation vs. Resilience Semantics Quotes from the episode: Mark Nevitt: The National Flood Insurance Program is essentially a massive program to subsidize sandcastles. That is in place. It's a classic moral hazard where the people who are benefiting from the program are not fully invested in all the risks associated with it. It's heavily subsidized. My central argument in that article is that just as we have a climate crisis, and most of your listeners are aware of that, we also have legal doctrines, statutes that have not really kept up with our climate destabilized world. Doug Parsons: And so you're proposing an entirely new framework. To break this cycle of destroy, repealed, rebuild, repeat. …we've got to hold people responsible even today decisions that are going to be happening in the next few years, because we won't ever be able to afford this because 10 years from now.

The Center for Heat Resilient Communities gets a NOAA Grant with Dr. Kelly Turner and Dr. Ladd Keith 06/03/2024

The Center for Heat Resilient Communities gets a NOAA Grant with Dr. Kelly Turner and Dr. Ladd Keith In episode of , Dr. of UCLA and Dr. at the University of Arizona join host Doug Parsons to discuss groundbreaking work in extreme heat governance and planning, specifically focusing on the recent awarded to launch the Center for Heat Resilient Communities. The grant aims to enhance heat resilience in communities by encouraging connections between stakeholders and the federal government, with a heavy emphasis on climate justice and environmental justice as part of President Biden’s Justice40 initiative. The discussion also covers federally funded research programs supporting rural and tribal communities with heat resilience, mapping shade equity nationally, and initiatives on indoor cooling. Kelly and Ladd encourage involvement in the field of heat policy and governance, inviting individuals to reach out and engage with the three year project. Topics covered: NOAA Grant Overview Biden Administration's Role Principals and Key Partners/Community Partnerships Heat Resilient Communities Framework Evaluating Heat Resilience Policies Training Future Heat Leaders Funding and Support for Communities Climate and Environmental Justice Media Coverage of Extreme Heat Plug for Other Research Programs for Kelly and Ladd Call to Action: Visit heat.gov Principal Researchers for the Grant: Transcript of episode available . Quotes from the episode: Dr. Kelly Turner: Really, there are two main goals. One is to to create a robust framework across a diverse set of contexts that communities could use to do heat resilience work. And so we have a series of six cores that the whole center is organized around. So the first goal is for us to create this framework. And the second goal is to then fund and to support communities. So 10 communities per year over three years to test that framework and refine it. And I could get into a little bit about each one of the cores if that's of interest. Dr. Ladd Keith And we'll be co-developing essentially this heat resilient framework that the communities will be going through. And it involves all the cores and is really focused on supporting heat action planning at the local level and really drawing on that network of experts that we have involved in the center. I think one of the exciting things is we'll be co-developing this heat resilient framework with the communities that we're working with. And of Of course, we'll be supporting the initial 30 communities, but we'll also be putting a lot of that information on heat.gov so that it's accessible to all of the other 19,000 communities in the United States. And another part of it that's really exciting is all of the lessons that we're going to learn through the center is feeding that back to federal agencies and really partnering with them so they know how to better support community heat planning as well.

It's hard to know when that'll happen, when there's a tipping point, both in terms of people moving or what that means for politics. But I think that all that I could say about that is that I wouldn't be surprised if 25 years from now, the electoral map looks entirely different from how it does today in part in response to the kind of changes that I write about… So we're having this kind of scary conversation about the economics of home values in California. And then that particular day, I was looking out my window into the wildland urban interface in the suburban place that I that I live in. And I was like, Hey, wait, Jesse, I live right one of these spots you're describing, should I and he just cut me off and presumed my question was, should I live in a place that I live in? should I move?

Doug and Justin discuss the importance of having a National Adaptation Plan and Justin also highlights the work of his students in climate impact attribution and loss and damage research. America Adapts is increasingly covering the issue of climate data and modeling and in this thought providing discussion, we learn about the ethical considerations of privatizing a public good. Topics covered: Understanding Climate Models The Right to Climate Data Legal Implications of Climate Data Accuracy Interaction with Private Sector on Climate Science Free Climate Models vs. Paid Models Importance of National Adaptation Plan National Resilience Framework vs. National Adaptation Plan Dr. Mankin's Student Research Projects Recommendation for Future Guest: Erin Mayfield and Klaus Keller Quotes: Dr. Justin Mankin: “I think there's a gigantic gap between the science I do and the decision relevance of it.” “My investigations, which are fundamentally about informing adaptation and risk management of climate change that science is paid for,? And to the extent that science is linked back to people's tax dollars. I have an absolute imperative to communicate my science to whoever will listen.” “And that means that a national adaptation plan would establish minimal require informational requirements and make those data to inform adaptation decisions available to people in a legible format, right?” Check out the America Adapts Media Kit !
