Description: Das Projekt "Klimaaenderungen und potentielle Auswirkungen auf landwirtschaftliche Risiken: verwaltungstechnische Folgen fuer Versicherungsunternehmen und Rueckversicherungen" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Trier, European Association for Environmental Management Education - Focal Point Trier -, Europäisches Diplom in Umweltwissenschaften durchgeführt. If the predicted climate change becomes reality, the agricultural sector will be greatly affected since any systematic change in environmental conditions such as temperature, precipitation and the occurrence of extreme weather events could have major consequences for yield potential and for the risks for agricultural production. The objective of this project is to assess this risk of change in order to strategically implement necessary adaptions in the agricultural insurance business. Whereas insurance solutions have traditionally been provided for single agricultural risks, esp. hail, today there is a need for more innovative products aiming at the development of multi-line insurance and reinsurance solutions. In addition to these ongoing changes in the crop insurance business, the issue of climate change also has to be considered. The predicted climate change creates additional uncertainty about the risks for agricultural production. The following potential impacts on agricultural risks are assessed: direct climate effects on agricultural yield potential in Europe, extreme events such as hail, frost and drought, as well as potential losses caused by insects, diseases and weeds. The study concentrates on a limited number of crops which can be considered representative of other crops with similar growing-conditions requirements and because they represent Europe-wide highest exposure in terms of insured risks. Based on this analysis of the scientific literature and a review of existing alternative risk-transfer solutions such as the Multi Peru Crop Insurance (MPCI) already practiced in the USA, new ways of dealing with the increasing uncertainty in agricultural risks are being developed.
