Abstract

The article examines the problems of risk management of the adverse impacts of climate change, the risks of new or amplified existing factors affecting the municipal solid waste (MSW) management. Increased wind load, significant precipitation, unstable temperature conditions both in summer and winter, rising groundwater levels in urban areas, and others are the causes of risks of financial, technological, and legal instability, increasing the adverse impact on the urban environment in the activities of organizations managing housing, urban areas, and public utilities, supply of municipal resources, and municipal solid waste management. Special attention should be paid to the activities of regional environmental operators, taking into account new impact factors in the development and implementation of territorial schemes for the management of municipal solid waste. There have to be tools to manage such risks. Insurance is one of the most universal and widespread economic instruments. However, regulatory and methodological support does not always meet the prevailing conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to develop approaches to the insurance of production and consumption waste management facilities in the context of increased exposure to the negative effects of climate change.
