Forestry insurance: A largely untapped potential

This report focuses on forestry insurance and includes a comparative analysis of South Africa, China, Chile, Sweden and France. It explains how the re/insurance industry can help to close the protection gap and ensure that planted forests are managed in an ecologically sound and economically viable way, by addressing the related risks and collaborating with forestry stakeholders. It provides insights on the main forestry risks (fire, windstorm, floods), forest fire risk modelling and forest risk management.
