 Adaptation is the only response available for the impacts that will occur over the next
several decades before mitigation measures can have an effect.
 Risk-based insurance schemes, provide strong signals about the size of climate risks and
therefore encourage good risk management.
 It is already very clear that the economic risks of inaction in the face of climate change
are very severe.
