Given the increased frequency of weather extremes, compound events are increasingly becoming a reality. Their impact is often much more devastating than the sum of their constituent weather extremes might suggest. This poses new challenges to everyone, including insurers. This research will study the effects of compound weather extremes and how they differ from the sum of the individual weather extremes and explore the multifaceted impacts of climate change on compound weather events.
