Incorporating the insurance value of peri-urban ecosystem services into natural hazard policies and insurance products: Insights from Mexico

Abstract: Understanding how to adapt to increasing risk under climate change is essential for governments wishing to mitigate harms and manage insurance and disaster assistance costs. An approach that values the public good of hazard mitigation provisioned by natural ecosystems could also incentivise government, beneficiaries and insurance companies to share responsibility and funding for targeted conservation and restoration. To illuminate this concept of the insurance value of ecosystems, it is important to map the re… Show more

“…Biopolitics thereby involves establishing the boundary between the human and the non-human as well as mobilizing techniques for governing both (Lemke, 2015). While there might be several ways of relating to nature within the capitalist mode of production, the mode of production nonetheless fundamentally conditions the relation between humans and non-human nature insofar as the production of nature becomes informed by the social imperative to realize value through market-mediated exchanges in capitalism (Smith, 2008). Building on notions of biopolitics, Stephanie Wakefield (2020) has analyzed the production of nature as infrastructure and how this requires work by humans and oysters alike.…”
