Roadmap for transitional reform in China.  a"China is the largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world and also suffers from devastating climate catastrophes. Increasingly, policymakers in China have come to realize that government alone cannot adequately prevent or defray climate-related disaster risks. This book contends that a better way to manage catastrophe risk in China is through private insurance rather than directly through the Chinese government. In addition, private insurance could function as a substitute for, or complement to, government regulation of catastrophe risks by causing policyholders to take greater precautions to reduce climate change risks."-- Back cover. 0aDisaster insurancezChina. 0aEmergency managementzChina. 0aClimatic changeszChina. 0aElgar studies in climate law.
