Globally, poor mental health afflicts close to a billion people.1 Incidents of mental illness soared during the pandemic due to social restrictions, isolation and increased financial insecurity. The cost-of-living crisis, effects of climate change and other destabilising factors are set to exacerbate mental health risk and its impact on societies and economies.
Climate change, new technologies, and shifting governance are redefining how climate and environmental risks are understood and financed. The January 2026 special issue of The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance, edited by Maryam Golnaraghi, Swenja Surminski, and Chris Greig, gathers research on climate modelling, adaptation, and catastrophe management, spotlighting the innovations that will be vital for today’s fast-changing climate risk landscape.
