About this Opportunity

Virtual Volunteer Financial Analyst Volunteer, Wildfire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing.world

In Peter Diamandis November 12th 2020 trends of the next decade, was: "The insurance industry transforms from "recovery after risk" to "prevention of risk:" Our thesis "prevention derivatives" thesis is that anchor stakeholders at risk could demonstrably identify their self-interest in wildfire prevention of air-pollution. CrowdDoing.world is working to accelerate that transformation via "prevention derivatives". CrowdDoing.world co-hosts the Prevention Derivatives Initiative. The Prevention Derivatives Initiative is starting with wildfire prevention in North America, South America and Australia in our pilot phase of development. Prevention Derivatives represents a strategy to address the global cooperation gap in risk prevention?

Stakeholders share liabilities. Catastrophes cause harm to insurers, reinsurers, Insurance-linked-security holders, corporations, individuals, and whole regions. If we can prevent these risks with social innovation cost effectively that is a collective opportunity. Prevention derivatives is driven by the thesis that there is an under-valuation of passive risk (or the cost of inaction) and an under-prioritization of positive risk. Correspondingly for wildfires as an example, there is an under-recognition of the potential shared value upside of preventative action through social innovation and social interventions (such as goats & sheep that prevent wildfires). CrowdDoing.world's aim is to guarantee positive risk through leveraging existing liabilities to allow for the implications of prescriptive analytics to be financed. The under-pricing of passive risk means that liabilities are treated as either costs of doing business or un-predictable risks even for entirely preventable risks. Risk management offices have been too biased towards avoiding taking the wrong risks rather than ensuring that institutions make their own luck by seizing the abundant positive risk opportunities in social innovation. Meanwhile, the bias against positive risk leaves social innovations not to get adopted even if there would be remarkable benefits to all stakeholders if they were adopted. CrowdDoing.world recruits multi-disciplinary volunteers from a variety of backgrounds in order to support our research and development of systems change relevant social innovations.

Please help us in our Prevention Derivatives research through applying here to join us and collaborate as a virtual volunteer for systems change at CrowdDoing for Prevention Derivatives and/or our other initiatives.
