The Price Is the Forecast
<p>Weather derivatives have struggled with liquidity for 25 years. Jim Huang thinks prediction markets can finally fix that — but only if the contracts are built around events people actually watch.</p><p>In this return conversation with Risk Market News, the former CME product strategist and founder of Climate Hedge explains his pivot to WeatherBook, a weather-focused prediction market platform. Huang breaks down why China consolidated all weather index development into the Guangzhou Futures Exchange — pushing any weather futures launch to late 2027 or beyond — and why that regulatory reset opened a window for an event-driven alternative.<br>Register for <a href="https://riverside.com/webinar/registration/eyJldmVudElkIjoiNmEzNThmYzljMDg4MGE4ZWI4N2NmMzUyIiwic2x1ZyI6ImNocmlzdG9waGVyLS13ZXN0ZmFsbHMtc3R1ZGlvIn0=">Risky Science Live</a></p>

As a result, buildings collapsed, the airport shut down, and the death toll climbed.<br>And a fragile country recently facing its own political upheaval was left asking how this could happen on a fault everyone knew was dangerous.<br>My guest is Ziggy Lubkowski, earthquake engineer and Arup's global seismic expert. Arup is a global engineering and design consultancy, and Ziggy has spent nearly forty years studying the built environment—why some buildings stand and others fall—from Indonesia to Turkey to California.<br>We talk about what really drives the damage, why early loss estimates swing by billions, and the one earthquake-risk investment that pays back six to one.<br><a href="https://www.riskmarketnews.com/">Subscribe to Risk Market News</a></p>
