Abstract: 
This paper deals with the impact of climate change on crop insurance in the Czech Republic in the context of government support policies. It combines a comparative analysis of selected EU countries’ insurance systems with an empirical investigation of factors influencing Czech farmers’ decisions to purchase crop insurance. Using farm-level data, the analysis explores the roles of weather variability, government disaster aid, and participation in agri-environmental schemes. We show that past experience with extreme weather and dependence on state aid have a significant impact on insurance uptake, while recent weather anomalies and participation in environmental schemes have a limited influence.
