| Jim Hall of Tyndall writes about the cost of flooding in Nature Climate Change The risk of flooding in the Netherlands could more than double by the 2040s, but the issue of who should pay for losses is an open question. Analysis (partly carried out by research in the Climate changes Spatial Planning Programme) reveals that private insurance could bear some - but not all - of the burden.
