Preface
This book comprises both extended versions of papers presented at the 6th International Summit on Hurricanes and Climate Change: from Hazard to Impact, held in Heraklion in June 2017, as well as some additional contributions. Talks presented at this conference ranged from numerical simulation of tropical cyclones through tropical cyclone hazard estimation to damage estimates and their implications for commercial risk. This series of conferences has evolved over time to include a substantial component on climate risk, and this shift in emphasis is reflected in the content of this new volume. This book provides a source reference for both risk managers and climate scientists for topics on the interface between tropical cyclones, climate, and risk. These topics are of particular interest to the insurance industry, and Chap. 1 provides an overview of the tropical cyclone risk issues that are of concern to
