Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance in Costa Rica: Stocktake and Gap Analysis

Due to its geographic location and geotectonic features, Costa Rica is highly exposed to geophysical and hydrometeorological phenomena. Disasters connected to these kinds of natural events have a social, economic and financial impact, with 77.9% of the population and 80.1% of the country’s economic activity concentrated in areas of high disaster risk. According to the risk profiles available for Costa Rica, floods, tropical cyclones and earth quakes have been identified as the most frequent and severe hazards. By 2030, annual losses associated with the aforementioned hazards, amongst others, could exceed USD 7 billion, and could reach almost USD 30 billion by 2050 (both figures adjusted to 2006 constant dollars).
