My research

Lorenzo’s research will address the role of financial risk hedging tools, parametric insurance in particular, in climate change adaptation and disaster risk management. The research will address the inclusion of climate scenarios in the evaluation and pricing of insurance schemes and the use of insurance as a tool to shift the management of specific systems towards higher sustainability and lower risk.
