Navigating Insurance Challenges in a Climate Crisis

Today we’re handing the mic over to the team behind “Burning Questions” from Marketplace’s climate solutions podcast “How We Survive” as they survey the devastation on the ground in the Pacific Palisades, and dig into the homeowners insurance crisis.

Host Amy Scott talks with Carolyn Kousky from the Environmental Defense Fund to find answers.
