Purposes of the Project Identify and examine the relevant uncertainties related to the science of climate Identify climate-related issues most likely to be important for the insurance industry Develop decision support tools that could support insurance-related decision making

4 Research Areas Direct Climate and Weather Related Impacts Liability (including D&O Coverage) Impact on Shareholders’ Value New Technologies, Emissions Control Policies and Trading Systems. Study both risks and opportunities due to global warming

First Carnegie-Wharton Workshop: “Identify needs in analysis and decision research” May 8-9, 2006 – Washington, DC 30 participants (academics, public and private sectors, trade associations) Key challenge: how can we reconcile timeline and agendas of the scientific community and the business community? Risk Center’s 2-to-3 year research plan to be defined with Carnegie in the coming weeks.
