I have an interest in the world of insurance, which is a far more comprehensive and intricate industry than suggested by domestic insurers’ multi-policy discounts and the like.
In fact, commerce and industry in general would not operate without the insurance mechanism to support them.
Risk management is a related discipline, consisting of insurance (within its “risk transfer” component) and many other elements.
I also have a keen interest in climate change, and have felt for some time that its near-term and longer-term impacts are not fully appreciated by various major participants in the insurance industry. For that reason, I have developed the presentation below, with two different versions provided here: a slideshow; and downloadable PDF. It is also available on the Slideshare website, from where it can be expanded to full screen.
