In this week’s conversation, host Stuart Yasgur sits down with the AVP for Economics and Policy at the Environmental Defense Fund, Carolyn Kousky, to discuss how the increased risk to our homes in the face of extreme weather events is increasing the cost of our insurance, and potentially limiting our ability to be insured altogether.
As conversations around insurance reach the dinner table in homes across the U.S., people are not only worried about making insurance payments by the end of each month, but also about their ability to remain insured as price and risk go up year after year. By facing risks to our homes head on, we can begin to think through ways to keep insurance costs manageable and accessible for those of us who need it most.
