Climate Risk Management in Europe and the World

In the late 20th century, even as national governments and international organizations accepted scientific conclusions about anthropogenic climate change and promoted adaptation measures and the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, they also began to recognize the shortcomings of those efforts for preventing damages caused by severe weather, droughts, wildfires, rising sea levels, and more. In response, they increasingly adopted risk management approaches to climate change and developed actuarial thinking about its economic consequences.

During her fellowship at the Collegium Helveticum, Grace will focus on her second book manuscript, examining the history of climate risk management in Europe and the world. Her research is enriched by collaborations with Associate Fellow Frank Schimmelfennig, other Zurich-based colleagues, and the Collegium’s dynamic environment
