Catastrophe risk models as quantitative tools for climate change loss and damage: A demonstration for flood in Malawi, Vietnam, and the Philippines
In this article, authors Elizabeth Galloway, Ashleigh Massam, James Allard, Philip Oldam, Georgios Sarailidis, Jennifer Catto, Celine Germond-Duret and Paul Young show how catastrophe models can be used to calculate types of losses and damages beyond their insurance industry uses.

Insured U.S. Hurricane Loss Under a 2°C Warmer Climate
In this article, authors Ed Pope and Sam Phibbs show the impacts of further warming of the climate to 2°C above pre-industrial temperatures on hurricanes and their associated insured losses.

Assessing Future Tropical Cyclone Risk Using Downscaled CMIP6 Projections
The authors employ the Columbia Hazard model (CHAZ) to characterise future tropical cyclone (TC) activity under the shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 by downscaling 12 models that participated in the Coupled Climate Model Intercomparison Project’s sixth generation (CMIP6), focusing on the Western North Pacific (WNP) and North Atlantic (ATL) basins.

Projecting Future Tropical Cyclone Frequencies by Combining Uncertain Empirical Estimates of Baseline Frequencies with Climate Model Estimates of Change
Various studies have given projections for how frequencies of tropical cyclones (TCs) might change under climate change. In this study, we combine a set of such projections with uncertain estimates of frequencies of tropical cyclones in a baseline climate to produce probabilistic projections of tropical cyclone frequencies for the next 50 years.
