Erica Thompson will be discussing ‘Disaster Risk Financing in Model Land and the Real World’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First I will introduce the key themes of my recent book, Escape From Model Land, with a focus on applications in climate modelling and climate services. I will then discuss an example taken from some recent work on anticipatory humanitarian action for both weather and climate applications. Taking action in advance of weather-related hazards such as heatwave and cyclone requires not just a weather forecast, but also some understanding of how good that forecast is likely to be. Similarly, larger-scale disaster risk financing approaches require not just a model of present\/future climatic probabilities, but also some understanding of how good that model is. I will discuss the balancing act involved in effective and accountable disaster risk financing given imperfect knowledge of future climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
