Oslo Workshop on Climate Change Physical Modelling Supporting a Storyline Approach
April 24, 2019 - April 26, 2019
Oslo, Norway
Workshop to improve communication of climate change. The outcome of the workshop will be a peer-reviewed paper, providing a perspective on best-practices for physical modeling to accompany narratives of high-impact extreme and compound events and associated risks under climate change.

Wildfire Catastrophe Modeling: Analytics for a New Peak Peril
April 26, 2019
Until recently, wildfire was considered a highly manageable “attritional” loss by the insurance industry, comprised of a high frequency of low severity claims. Over the past 5 years that has changed. With a changing climate, more exposure in high risk areas, and a build-up of burnable vegetation, the risk of severe wildfire has increased to a point where it must now be treated as a major catastrophe risk - like flood, hail, or earthquake.
This session covers the reasons behind the elevated levels of wildfire risk, mitigation measures that can reduce location-level risk, and the science of fire hazard modeling.
