Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this clear-eyed work, public policy expert Jonathan Boston tackles one of the defining policy challenges of climate change: how can residential property insurance remain accessible and affordable as climate-intensified risks escalate? Given New Zealand's distinctive natural hazards profile and numerous at-risk communities, small policy changes won't be enough. Sustainable insurance affordability will require a paradigm shift in risk governance, adaptation planning, and property insurance arrangements. We need fair, collective risk-sharing, vigorous risk avoidance, and serious public investment in risk reduction, including planned relocation where long-term protection is neither cost-effective nor feasible.Navigating the stark realities of climate-intensified risks and implementing effective reforms will be challenging. There are powerful political incentives for procrastination and buck-passing. But delay will be costly; poor policy choices likewise. To enable progress, evidence-informed public debate about the policy options is vital. Insuring the Future seeks to encourage that debate and proposes a practical, integrated set of reforms. As the effects of climate change intensify across Aotearoa New Zealand, securing home insurance is no longer a sure thing. Nor is it always affordable.

Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Climate change presents significant ethical, political, economic, and technical challenges. While the global community has made initial efforts to tackle these issues, much more action is required. The Kyoto Protocol, established in 1997, mandates that industrialized nations reduce emissions by an average of 5% below 1990 levels during the first commitment period (2008-2012). Most developing nations and nearly all industrialized countries have ratified the Protocol, with Australia and the United States as exceptions. With the first commitment period nearing its end, the international community faces the urgent task of determining the appropriate policies and commitments necessary to reverse greenhouse gas emissions and assist nations in adapting to climate change's inevitable impacts. This book delves into the essential policy matters that must be addressed in upcoming negotiations for a post-2012 climate treaty, focusing on the implications for New Zealand, particularly in the energy, agricultural, and forestry sectors. It draws from a series of roundtable discussions held in mid-2007, sponsored by New Zealand government department executives and involving around 120 participants from various stakeholder groups and sectors. Contributors include notable experts such as Ralph Chapman, Pamela Chasek, and Adrian Macey.…
