"Buying a house is one of the most high-stakes decisions many people will make
in their lives. Yet many households are investing millions without an adequate
understanding of a property’s exposure to growing climate risks.
In Australia, perhaps the starkest climate hazard is flood. Flooding ranks as
one of the most financially damaging weather-related disasters, with costs
rising sharply over the past five years.
So, how do you find out a given property’s flood risk? This information
certainly exists. It is embedded in the insurance premiums we are charged.
But in Australia, unlike many comparable countries, this information is not
readily available to all households. Changing that would help them make
smarter, more informed decisions – and could benefit us all."
