SCORE Webinar #3: Risk modeling and its role in designing strategies to increase the financial resilience of coastal cities
Description
In this webinar, we will focus on the development of quantitative risk models and their importance in the design of financial resilience strategies. To do so, we will introduce the concept of coastal city risk characterization, including the definition of hazard, exposure and vulnerability.
We will then cover the concepts of baseline risk (the quantification of economic losses caused by natural disasters), residual risk (the assessment of residual risks faced by coastal cities even after implementation of ecosystem-based approaches) and financial resilience (the design of financial instruments needed to cope with these economic losses, such as traditional insurance, natural disaster funds, insurance-linked securities).
Our invited speaker, Darío Luna-Pla (Akua Capital), will then present implementation cases of risk financing strategies.
