Environmental risk and insurance

More about the book

Clear and transparent rules of law are essential in all areas of life, particularly in the context of rapid technological and economic changes that significantly impact society and environmental insurance risks. This comprehensive presentation explores the basic concepts, principles, and institutions of insurance law related to environmental damage, addressing both public and private law issues. It examines the role of states in developing environmental insurance and the legal frameworks surrounding it, including the insurability of administrative liability for environmental damage and the responsibilities of private entities using the environment. The work offers both theoretical and systematic value by presenting a broad spectrum of topics related to ecological insurance risks, while also emphasizing practical applications, a feature not commonly found in insurance law literature. Additionally, it discusses aspects that extend beyond legal considerations, incorporating new technologies into the analysis. As a result, this monograph is a valuable and thoughtful contribution to the field, engaging with current and significant issues in environmental insurance, distinguishing itself from other publications in the Polish market.
