'Humanity’s desire for hope is understandable, especially when the future looks threatening and anxiety provoking. Yet hope, to be genuine and lasting, requires firm foundations.'

Focusing on adaptation challenges, he assesses the impact on communities, the need for robust relocation policies and a fair and effective compensation scheme. He also addresses the troubling prospects for property insurance. This Text helps us to understand and prepare for the profound changes ahead.
