failing to provide the benefits that it promises are evidenced throughout this
book.
A crucial learning from this collection of insurance research is that we
need to think about insurance in less narrow ways. The centrality of social
interdependence both to disaster recovery and climate change adaptation is a theme re-iterated throughout these chapters. Foregrounding the
elemental – as the authors of this book have done – also signposts an understanding of human interdependence with landscapes, climate and ecology
as fundamental to life in a heating world. This presents a broader way of
thinking about insurance that contributes to deconstructing a suite of dualisms such as those we consider here – rational/emotional, technical/political,
individual/collective. In the context of a changing climate, the intensifying
energies of the elements push us to rethink insurance and with it the ways
in which insurantial policy and practice contribute to patterns and trends
in inequity and inequality. The elemental agency that co-constitutes insurance contributes to these dynamics in ways that indicate fruitful avenues
for future inquiry. Unfolding, uncertain and rapid change is a compelling
impetus.
