The Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience (JCRR), a new not-for-profit publication, has been launched to provide a new outlet for risk and resilience research.
JCRR is supported by a number of organizations from across academia and the private sector, with founding member organizations including:
- AXA XL
- Fathom
- Lighthill Risk Network representing Lloyd’s, Hiscox, Guy Carpenter, Aon, Liberty Mutual Syndicate, Hiscox
- MS Amlin
- Flood Re
- Renaissance Re
- JBA Risk Management
- WTW.
The Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience will publish original research, reviews, and commentary from scientists, researchers, practitioners, and decision makers across academia and the private sector on a variety of topics including: the monitoring and modelling of hazards, exposure and vulnerability; catastrophe risk management; and mitigation and adaptation strategy design by governments, NGOs, and businesses.
The Journal aims to:
- Provide a forum for experts in both academia and industry to publish the methods and results of their research
- Remove some of the barriers to publication erected by traditional academic journals
- Foster a spirit of collaboration and methodological openness amongst industrial practitioners
- Make relevant academics visible to an industry which can consume and utilise their research
- Generate impact through the definition and maintenance of best practice
- Command a dedicated readership amongst catastrophe researchers, model vendors, and academic geoscientists
- Cultivate new avenues of interdisciplinary collaboration in academia to strengthen the link-fundamental to catastrophe risk research – between physics-and economics-adjacent fields.
