    Insurers could help address climate risks
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2011) Nel, Deon; Shearing, Clifford; Reyers, Belinda
    Working with South Africa's largest short-term insurer, Santam, we investigated how communities should manage the increased risks associated with climate change. The global insurance industry has focused on refining the quantification, differentiation and pricing of the risk exposure of insured assets. Our findings call into question a sole reliance on this strategy (J. Nel et al. CSIR/NRE/ECOS/2011/0063/B; CSIR, 2011).
