Agricultural insurances based on meteorological indices: realizations, methods and research challenges (2013, methodology): “A second programme, a public one, covers a much hig er number of farmers (1.6 million in 2009), it is called the Weather Based Crop Insuranc e S heme (WBCIS). However, for the large majority of them (around 90%), insurance was compulsory since it was included in a package with a loan for agricultura”
Destruction, Disinvestment, and Death: Economic and Human Losses Following Environmental Disaster (2013, background): “Yet, while it is now possible to predict average storm frequencies for each storm season in a given basin with moderate skill (Heming and Goerss (2010); Smith et al.”
Transformational adaptation when incremental adaptations to climate change are insufficient (2012, background): “Pilot studies of African weather-indexed crop insurance have been conducted or are under way in a number of countries including Kenya, Malawi, and Ethiopia (18).”
Applicability Of The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index In Index-Based Crop Insurance Design (2012, unknown): “…is gaining increasing popularity due to its ease of implementation, its safeguards against the moral hazard and adverse selection problems frequently found in traditional agricultural indemnity insurance, and its resulting affordability (Hellmuth et al. 2009, Chantarat 2009, Barnett 2005).”
A probabilistic analysis of human influence on recent record global mean temperature changes (2014, background): “Climate risk management covers a broad range of potential actions, including: early-response systems, strategic diversification, dynamic resource-allocation rules, financial instruments, infrastructure design and capacity building (Osgood and Hellmuth, 2009).”
