Forest Fire Risk Prevention Derivatives in Northern California
Bobby Fishkin, lead author

In 2018, Sacramento was named the ""the Most Polluted City on Earth"" due to ""smoke from Camp Fire,"" This proposal aims to prevent that from happening again through adopting a systemic approach and collaborating with stakeholders to actively prevent future such events. The insurance industry, along with institutional chief risk officers, have begun to recognize the importance of moving from ""loss compensation to loss prevention.""

CrowdDoing and Project Heather propose launching a prevention derivative with two new stakeholders: (a) contingent payers who pay in proportion to the reduction in risk, and (b) impact investors who finance social innovations in which their return is similarly proportional to the reduction in risk. It will build on existing precedents for contingent contracts involving social- innovation-based risk prevention.

Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing, Volunteer Insurance Broker
A spectrum of forest fire risk prevention approaches are available: from creative new social innovations to well-established interventions.The forest fire risk prevention derivative would first survey existing forest fire prevention interventions in Greater Sacramento with an eye towards which ones might be suitable to support and expand. It would then review global social innovations that might be relevant to Northern California to determine which to replicate. Entities involved in risk management and risk securitisation, from insurers to reinsurers to retrocessionaires, ought to welcome the chance to share liability proportionally through a commons of prevention innovations. The prevention derivative can expand as more institutions and individuals join as contingent payers and impact investors in order prevent a larger portion of collective risk. Payments by private and public institutions to support prevention derivatives can be in-kind, through services, and/or financial.

Public health forest fire statistics volunteer.

Prevention derivatives are a framework to address what would otherwise become Tragedies of the Commons.***. Risks of calamity are spread across many stakeholders, from companies to insurers to governments and individuals. Prevention Derivatives are a strategy for each stakeholder to take their fair share of responsibility for the prevention of these risks. Risks are preventable through combinations of social innovations that range from new to long-standing, proven approaches. Prevention Derivatives are designed for each stakeholder [contingent payers] to pay, if they so choose, only for the risk prevention savings that materialize for them.

For example, If stakeholders who face forest fire risks can collaborate to finance the prevention of these risks through social innovation, all stakeholders can be better protected.

Similarly, stakeholders who face flooding risks due to the degradation of coral reef health collaborate to finance the prevention of these risks through social innovation, all stakeholders can be better protected.

Biophelia Financial Analyst Sub-Project Project Management

Globally more deaths per year are linked to urban air pollution than to automobile accidents. But increasing plants in cities can be a major countervailing force.


Biophelia was defined by E.O. Wilson as """"the rich, natural pleasure that comes from being surrounded by living organisms."" Over the years, evidence has mounted of the mental and physical health benefits plants can provide to humans.

If the density of plants per acre in a neighborhood or city reaches botanical garden density (that is, comparable to the level of plants per acre of the Forest City in southern China, the neighborhood of the Bosco Verticale in Milan, or the neighborhood around largest vertical garden in the world in Bogota, Columbia), the number of deaths in cities from air pollution can be nearly eliminated and cities can become more livable places.

How can we bring this reality closer in cities around the world?

CrowdDoing has simulated health and economic gains from increased plant density through vertical gardens in hospitals and libraries. These can be extended and deepened through further outcome simulation, contextual modeling and visual illustration carried out by a diverse range of volunteers, potentially including city planners, biologists, and hospital/medical system experts.


Plant proximity has been shown to be beneficial in multiple ways including from air pollution reduction & stress reduction. These leverage points have been demonstrated to have positive medical consequences in terms of reduced opioid addiction, reduced medical mistakes, prevention of diseases & conditions such as hypertension & related complications, asthma, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, alzheimers & dementia, schizophrenia, rheumatoid arthritisacute pancreatits, chronic kidney disease. We have also evaluated the consequences of proximity to plants on hospital staff presenteeism, absenteeism & turnover rates.

We have concluded that under any scenario we have tested, a network of plant walls & vertical gardens and other uses of plants could pay for themselves in as little as two years and provide beneficial outcomes for more than 20 years. Plant proximity is understood by the scientific community through the lens of ""biophelia"". Biophelia is the visual & sensory experience of plants and proximity to plants. You have expertise relevant to reviewing for validity and applicability our simulation of biophelia in hospitals. Our draft aims to forecast the social outcomes that could be caused by varying scenarios of biophelia in hospitals. We have identified more than 100 outcomes that in principle can be attributed to biophelia. We present here in draft for review a partial simulation of this impact potential. We have aimed to consider prospective benefits to all stakeholders. We have structured this to be a flexible model that can be adapted to any hospital circumstance. We’ve aimed to identify both health outcomes, environmental outcomes financial outcomes.

The Kohl's team can help protect sea turtles, like Sweet Pea, by joining the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center (NBSTCC) in removing marine debris and engaging the public along Navarre beach.

Sweet Pea, a non-releasable green sea turtle residing at NBSTCC tells the story of how human activity can impact sea turtles. Sweet Pea is unable to return to the wild due to injuries which were 100% preventable and 100% caused by human activity. Sweet Pea was found floating in shallow waters off the coast of Alabama severely entangled in marine debris. After a year and half of rehabilitation, Sweet Pea was well enough to find her home at the NBSTCC, and while she is thriving today, her encounter with marine debris requires her to have life-long human care.

While human activity is the single greatest threat to sea turtles’ survival, it is also the single greatest hope for sea turtle survival! The NBSTCC has hosted monthly trash-bash, beach clean up events, every month since 2014. Historically this program removes between 1400 pounds to a ton of marine debris annually. As beach traffic and interest in this program has increased, NBSTCC has responded by offering private cleanup events for civic groups and organizations. In 2019, 860 volunteers participated in this program and removed 1,442.9 pounds of debris! In addition to providing an immediate benefit to marine life through the removal of marine debris, volunteers sort and categorize the debris collecting valuable data used to identify trends in marine debris. Shared in a collaborative network, this data helps guide long-term solutions aimed at the reduction of marine debris.

This program increasingly becomes more important during sea turtle nesting season, which is May through October in the Florida Panhandle. During this time, not only are sea turtles foraging off our coastline, but mature females are coming ashore to nest. Being on land for sea turtles is laborious and human activity such as debris, beach obstacles, and holes cause immediate danger. Many visitors are unaware of the presence of sea turtles or how they can share the shore responsibility. However, with the right opportunity and information, all these visitors can become sea turtle heroes, they just need someone like you, to guide their way!

Beach cleanups are a great way to get out into the community, enjoy the beauty of the nature around us and make a tangible difference. The event will start with a tour of the NBSTCC where Kohl’s Team will meet Sweet Pea and get an introduction to the marine debris program. These events are coordinated with NBSTCC’s volunteer coordinator and Kohl’s team will be supported by NBSTCC team members during the program.

We hope you considering joining the NBSTCC in our journey to give sea turtles more tomorrows
