  • Prospects and challenges of risk-based insurance pricing for disaster adaptation

  • Socioeconomic distributional impacts of evaluating flood mitigation activities using equity-weighted benefit-cost analysis

    Open AccessJoseph W Lockwood, Michael Oppenheimer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    As the global impact of climate change intensifies, there is an urgent need for equitable and efficient climate adaptation policies. Traditional approaches for allocating public resources for climate adaptation that are based on economic benefit-cost analysis often overlook the resulting distributional inequalities. In this study, we apply equity weightings to mitigate the distributional inequalities in two key building and household level adapta…

  • Unpriced climate risk and the potential consequences of overvaluation in US housing markets

    Open AccessJesse D Gourevitch, Carolyn Kousky et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2023

    Climate change impacts threaten the stability of the US housing market. In response to growing concerns that increasing costs of flooding are not fully captured in property values, we quantify the magnitude of unpriced flood risk in the housing market by comparing the empirical and economically efficient prices for properties at risk. We find that residential properties exposed to flood risk are overvalued by US$121–US$237 billion, depending on t…

  • Federal incentives for community-level climate adaptation

    Open AccessJesse D Gourevitch, Nicholas PinterARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    In response to growing threats of climate change, the US federal government is increasingly supporting community-level investments in resilience to natural hazards. As such federal programs become more widespread, evaluating their efficiency and equity is essential. The Community Rating System (CRS), which is part of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), is a promising example of a federal policy designed to reduce flood losses by providin…

  • Inequities in the distribution of flood risk under floodplain restoration and climate change scenarios

    Open AccessJesse D Gourevitch, Rebecca M Diehl et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2022

    The combined impacts of climate change and ecological degradation are expected to worsen inequality within society. These dynamics are exemplified by increases in flood risk globally. In general, low‐income and socially vulnerable populations disproportionately bear the cost of flood damages. Climate change is expected to increase the number of people exposed to fluvial flood risk and cause greater property damages. Floodplain restoration has the…

  • Optimizing wetland restoration to improve water quality at a regional scale

    Open AccessNitin K Singh, Jesse D Gourevitch et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Excessive phosphorus (P) export to aquatic ecosystems can lead to impaired water quality. There is a growing interest among watershed managers in using restored wetlands to retain P from agricultural landscapes and improve water quality. We develop a novel framework for prioritizing wetland restoration at a regional scale. The framework uses an ecosystem service model and an optimization algorithm that maximizes P reduction for given levels of re…

  • Optimizing investments in national-scale forest landscape restoration in Uganda to maximize multiple benefits

    Open AccessJesse D Gourevitch, Peter Hawthorne et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Forest loss and degradation globally has resulted in declines in multiple ecosystem services and \nreduced habitat for biodiversity. Forest landscape restoration offers an opportunity to mitigate these \nlosses, conserve biodiversity, and improve human well-being. As part of the Bonn Challenge, a global \neffort to restore 350 million hectares of deforested and degraded land by 2030, over 30 countries have \nrecently made commitments to national …
