Typhoon Risk Insurance for Marine Protected Areas in the Philippines
The Philippines is host to more than 1800 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and is committed to significantly expand their number and size under the 30 x 30 framework. These MPAs face an increasing threat from multiple hazards, most notably typhoons, which can severely damage mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass meadows. Already chronically underfunded, many MPA management councils struggle to replace lost monitoring assets and finance rehabilitation work. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) commissioned this pre-feasibility study in order to analyse the potential of new insurance solutions to assist MPAs bouncing back quickly in the aftermath of typhoon events.
Report on Ecosystem-based Adaptation and Nature-based Insurance Solutions in the Philippines and Asia
This study aims to explore how Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA) and Nature-Based Insurance Solutions (NbIS)
can effectively mitigate the impacts of climate-related hazards in the Philippines and in the region. It delves into
understanding the policy landscape, examining market practices through case studies, identifying challenges in
the sector, and proposing steps to scale EbA and NbIS solutions in the country.

Roadmap for Integrated Climate Risk Management in Ghana: Flood Risk Management & Transfer
This roadmap was developed as part of the project “Developing Risk Management Approaches for Climate Risks in Ghana” that was implemented by GIZ and Allianz Re in cooperation with local partners in Ghana. The roadmap describes both the approach taken and the route followed by the project partners in applying the Integrated Disaster Risk Management concept in the context of managing flood risk of public infrastructure assets owned or managed by the three municipalities of Accra.
Disaster Risk Finance – A Toolkit
The impacts of climate-related disaster risks are growing and disproportionately affect vulnerable countries. Finance that is available in a timely fashion after a disaster is crucial in order to increase financial resilience. The purpose of this disaster risk toolkit is to provide practical guidance on how to decide which disaster risk finance instruments are suitable for which circumstances.
Climate and Disaster Risk Financing in Zambia – a Protection Gap Analysis
This study serves as a basis for developing a Climate and Disaster Risk Financing Strategy for Zambia. It quantifies Zambia’s “protection gap” by comparing expected economic impacts from floods and droughts to the extent currently covered by available pre-arranged financial mechanisms.
Catalysing Finance and Insurance for Nature-based Solutions
Nature-based solutions can be an effective way to address environmental and social challenges, including adaptation to climate change and nature-related financial risks faced by economies around the globe. Although private sector engagement has picked up, nature-based solutions remain severely underfunded.
InsuResilience Sectoral Community Recommendations on Integrated Resilience Approaches in Agriculture
The Sectoral Community (SC) on Integrated Resilience Approaches in Agriculture was developed to inform, design and test innovative integrated solutions in the agricultural sector, as well as support the development of funding criteria for such projects. This guide is targeted at those designing projects and developing proposals for integrated resilience approaches in agriculture and those funding these projects.
Gender and Poverty-related Barriers of the Urban Poor to access Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance: Evidence from the Mahila Housing Trust in India
The findings of this study are intended to inform and enable the adoption of gender-responsive disaster risk financing and insurance approaches as part of comprehensive climate and disaster risk management strategies. Interviews were conducted with the Mahila Housing SEWA Trust’s staff in India and urban poor women groups to include their first-hand experiences in dealing with climate risk into recommendations for designing gender-responsive CDRFI solutions.
Methodological guidance to assess the value for money of premium and capital support towards climate and disaster risk finance and insurance
This guidance note contributes to the practical implementation of the Value for Money (VfM) principle. It does so by proposing a framework and methodology for the ex-ante assessment and comparison of different premium and capital support (PCS) options, aiming to inform and support decision-makers.
