Two major recent reports [ The Stern Review The Economics of Climate Change from the UK government (http //www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/independent reviews/stern review economics climate change/stern review report.cfm) and Climate Change 2007 The Physical Science Basis from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC http //www.ipcc.ch)] have amplified and emphasised the points made here.

In the past few years, unstable and extreme weather patterns are increasingly occurring as phenomena of climate change, and the link to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is scientifically accepted. From an economic point of view, extreme weather patterns are causing major damage to health, property, and business. 

A relevant role could be played by the insurance sector in the choice of political economic instruments for climate change. 

In the past few years, the insurance industry has developed financial products suitable for dealing with climate change-related risks in the direction to play a role far beyond simply compensating climate change s victims for their losses ex post. The activity of the insurance has become relevant as a political economic instruments within an ex ante strategy to financially manage large-scale catastrophes, as a complement of ex post instruments for the compensation of disaster losses. 

Policies choice in the case of climate change and the concept of "economic global public goods"... 

In addition, global warming is characterized by other important features that imply some difficulties in the implementation of the instruments provided by the standard economic theory of policy choice. First, we cannot determine with certainty both the dimension and the timing of climate change and the costs of the abatement of emissions. Second, the effects of GHG concentration in the atmosphere on climate are intergenerational and persistent across...
