Re: France first climate victim in Europe?
Of course, there will be more affected populations ... there is already what am I saying?
I don't think there are many French people among the 11 dead in 500 linked to global warming ...
But at the time of the Yellow Vests, it is interesting to speak to the French in "equivalent French working time" ...

Re: France first climate victim in Europe?
I do not criticize the figure, it is more the title of the subject that I find tendentious.
Classifying in "euros of damage reimbursed by insurance" is not at all significant.
Firstly because a small country (randomly on the surface Belgium) has statistically less damage (in Euros) than a large one and secondly because some countries have a much lower insurance coverage rate, which does not indicate that they have less damage (hence my African example).

Re: France first climate victim in Europe?
Yes, this is the reasoning of insurers, if you have no purchasing power and therefore no insurance it is that you have no damage! QED!

Re: France first climate victim in Europe?
Okay, the classification is open to criticism ... a bit like all the statistics ... But it's already an interesting means of comparison between countries with the same standard of living (therefore same level of insurability) ...
We could rebound from the endless and morally not at all acceptable debate (when we know the numbers ....)
How much does a human life cost in insurers' spreadsheets? For the poor? For a rich man? For a Frenchman? For an African? Etc., etc...
Another approach would be to see how the GDP was influenced by the damage: for example Katrina largely damaged the GDP of Louisiana ...
The concern is that damage also swells the GDP (during reconstruction ...) so the GDP activity that was lost by the destruction is then regained by reconstruction ...
Not easy to find a reliable method!
Besides, when the media publish the figures for the cost of damage from a climate event, where does it come from? I think of insurance companies right?

No, it is not a means of comparison because it is not related either to the population or to the surface or to the peculiarities of the countries.Christophe wrote:Okay, the classification is open to criticism ... a bit like all the statistics ...

Note that France is at the top of Europe, it is mainly because of the high exposure to risks of French DROMs.
The figure you give of € 72 per person is more interesting. But there is no classification according to this criterion.

Re: France first climate victim in Europe?
France, according to Valérie Masson-Delmotte, co-chair of group n ° 1 of the IPCC, is one of the global "hot-spots" in terms of climate risk, in particular because of the risk of heat waves, episodes of torrential rains and drought in its Mediterranean zone as well as because of the number of coastal km subjected to oceanic dangers (rising water levels, etc.).
