At @aspen_climate in 2023, @SCrawford expressed concerns about the inaccuracy of the nation's flood maps, which underplay risks esp. in places like rural NC and TN where Hurricane Helene recently wrought devastation. Learn more from @MerylDL for @NatGeo: nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

Warren Buffett’s $7B investment in Chubb Ltd. shows how climate change is driving up property insurance costs. For many homeowners, coverage is becoming harder to afford—or even find. The stakes are rising. susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/warren-buffe… #climaterisks #insurance

Insurers are leaving Florida. Citizens, Florida’s last-resort insurer, handles 69% of premiums. After Hurricane Debby, 77% of claims were denied. Florida homeowners are trapped between rising costs and shrinking home values. How long can this continue? susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/florida-man-…

Florida’s explosive growth is running into climate risks, leaving homeowners with rising premiums and unreliable insurance. In places like Pinellas County, hurricanes are exposing the cost of living on the coast. Will Florida adapt before it’s too late? susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/florida-man-…

Rising insurance costs are slamming commercial real estate, not just homeowners. With climate risks soaring, operators face narrowing coverage options—and skyrocketing expenses. The financial stakes are growing. susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/sharing-the-…

Hottest temperature ever recorded this late in the year in the Northern Hemisphere

The Economist on exponential #solar growth 📈: "The next ten-fold increase [in solar] will be equivalent to multiplying the world’s entire fleet of nuclear reactors by eight in less than the time it typically takes to build just a single one of them"🤯economist.com/leaders/2024/0…

Reinsurers are tightening contract terms and raising rates as climate risks intensify. This will push insurers out of markets like Florida and California, leaving millions vulnerable. #Reinsurance #PropertyInsurance susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/vertiginous-…

Melting glaciers in Antarctica are speeding up sea level rise, but leadership—not data—is what we need to protect vulnerable communities. susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/looking-for-… #ClimateRisk #Leadership

Massachusetts and Jacksonville are taking bold steps toward climate resilience. How can we make adaptation rewarding for more cities? #ClimateAdaptation #Leadership susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/how-to-chang…

Really enjoyed talking about operational transformation at @Calix #ConneXions24 this week - a joy to be onstage in conversation with Allison O'Neil (@AlloFiber) and Brian Bond (@GoBrightspeed). #ConneXions24 was truly fun.

Planned relocation isn’t a last resort—it’s a smart, long-term strategy for climate resilience. New Zealand gets it, and the U.S. needs to catch up before the next disaster strikes. susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/new-zealand-… #ClimateAdaptation #Resilience

"Big Oil's conduct was not just immoral. It was criminal," said @AaronRegunberg of@Public_Citizen. commondreams.org/news/big-oil-r…

Looking forward to talking about operational transformation at @Calix #ConneXions24 ​on Monday 10/14 at 1pm, and thrilled to be onstage in conversation with Allison O'Neil (@AlloFiber) and Brian Bond (@GoBrightspeed). link: web.cvent.com/event/543c4aed… #ConneXions24 looks fun.

Helen and Milton show us our ever-warmer, wetter, and riskier future. Insurance and property markets are beginning to reprice. Implications for financial structures and institutions are staggering, or will be soon. open.substack.com/pub/susanpcraw…

Greg Lindsay of Climate Alpha predicts a 50% increase in value for properties in climate-resilient areas over the next decade. The race to invest is on. susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/climate-driv… #ClimateFinance #RealEstateInvestment

The municipal bond market is steering cities toward risky development decisions. We need smarter, safer financial strategies before it’s too late. susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/city-as-comm… #ClimateFinance #Adaptation

New Zealand principles for climate adaptation affirmatively point toward allocating support for people who need to relocate, NOT "preserving wealth or protecting property owners from the risks of property ownership." Post today: susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/visible-but-…

America is still focused on reactive disaster relief, ignoring the long-term costs of climate inaction. New Zealand’s recent report on adaptation shows the way forward. susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/visible-but-… #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateRisk

Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies. Pass it on. #ActOnClimate
