Facilitating permanent carbon storage through risk transfers? Analyzing the insurability of the carbon leakage liability
Geological storage of CO 2 is expected to play a role in mitigating climate change, especially for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in hard-to-electrify sectors, and for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) under net-zero targets. One challenge of geological CO 2 storage is the risk that CO 2 later returns to the atmosphere. Policymakers aim to address this risk by imposing CO 2 leakage liabilities on storage operators, potentially also mandating insuran…
Seen and unseen vulnerabilities
As disasters disproportionately impact socially vulnerable groups, it is critical to ensure that sufficient, timely, and appropriate disaster recovery aid and efforts are channeled towards such groups. Ensuring that disaster impact assessments accurately account for how different communities are affected by the studied events is thus essential, as these assessments often inform and shape subsequent disaster recovery programs. However, it is not c…
Social capital and community integration in post-disaster relocation settlements after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami in Indonesia
Rebuilding historic urban neighborhoods after disasters
The 2015 Nepal earthquakes devastated the Kathmandu Valley and exposed the challenges of conserving andrestoring architectural heritage in historic urban neighborhoods damaged by disasters, while also trying to rapidly rebuild houses, revitalize livelihoods, and reduce vulnerabilities to future hazards. In this paper we use quantitative and qualitative data to investigate how traditional housing was transformed during the post-earthquake reconstr…
Sea-level rise from land subsidence in major coastal cities
Global warming and population change both heighten future risk of human displacement due to river floods
Every year, millions of people around the world are being displaced from their homes due to climate-related disasters. River flooding is responsible for a large part of this displacement. Previous studies have shown that river flood risk is expected to change as a result of global warming and its effects on the hydrological cycle. At the same time, future scenarios of socio-economic development imply substantial population increases in many of th…
Rethinking relief, reconstruction and development
This paper presents a field study on the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of livelihood interventions following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia. We assess the extent to which post-tsunami aid in Aceh helped beneficiaries to stabilize and restore their pre-disaster livelihoods, and/or develop new livelihoods. We draw upon qualitative data captured in 183 in-depth interviews and 38 focus group discussions involving villag…
