Show Notes
We hear from businesses in California, Fiji and the UK that have been hit hard by natural disasters like floods, wildfires and extreme storms - followed by rising insurance premiums - or companies refusing to insure them at all.
An alternative type of cover, parametric insurance, is being offered as a way of giving people some cover. But does it work for everyone?
