Methodological guidance to determine the ‘size’ of premium and capital support (PCS) at macro level
This document proposes methodological guidance to define the ‘scaling factor’ to determine the size of premium and capital support (PCS) at macro-level. It is based on the ‘SMART PCS Principles’, developed by the InsuResilience Global Partnership (IGP) to scale-up the Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) solutions.
The political economy of premium subsidies: searching for better impact and design
This report investigates the political economy of countrylevel decision-making in relation to sovereign-level CDRFI, and the role of premium and capital support in these decisions. It also analyses the political economy of donor decisions in relation to PCS. Further, the report covers premium subsidies, investigating how these can shape governments’ incentives to purchase insurance as well as considering how the allocation and design of subsidies can affect their impact and effectiveness.
Toolkit for Policymakers: A gender-responsive approach for Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI)
This toolkit provides a gender-smart Climate and Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance (CDRFI) policy self-assessment framework to identify and analyse the extent to which gender considerations are integrated into your country’s CDRFI-related policies and where there are gaps.
The Gender-responsiveness of InsuResilience Projects
The study investigated the extent to which policy commitment at the IGP level is realized at the programme and project levels with the aim of measuring the gender-responsiveness of the IGP programmes and projects. This report serves to understand challenges and approaches for solution to design projects in a gender-responsive manner for effective Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance.
Gender-Lens Investing in Climate and Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance (CDRFI) Solutions
This guidance note specifically focuses on the deployment of development finance with a gender lens in CDRFI-related investment and grant making opportunities to fill an existing gap in practical resources on this topic. It is intended for Members of the InsuResilience Global Partnership (IGP) and the broader CDRFI community that are involved in the financing, design and implementation of gender-smart CDRFI solutions.
Smart Premium and Capital Support: Enhancing Climate and Disaster Risk Finance Effectiveness Through Greater Affordability and Sustainability
Climate and disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI) promises substantial resilience benefits. The Policy Note aims to present a common understanding among InsuResilience members and partners regarding recipient eligibility, volume, duration, and form of premium and capital support as well as the conditions under which this support will be provided.
The Value of Reefs for Protecting the Most Vulnerable Populations in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Grenada
The quantitative, spatially-explicit analyses applied in this study highlight where reefs provide the greatest flood protection services to vulnerable populations in DR, Jamaica and Grenada. This work identifies where future reef loss may have the greatest impacts on vulnerable populations and where enhanced conservation and restoration will deliver the most benefits.
The landscape of financing options to address human mobility in the context of climate change
Slow onset processes and extreme weather events related to global warming are driving human mobility in context of climate change (HMCCC). Due to related extremes and slowly evolving processes such as floods, droughts, and rising sea-level, increasingly more livelihoods are destroyed, homes become inhabitable and economic opportunities are mitigated, resulting in migration, displacement, and planned relocation. To reduce those adverse effects related to climate change, the implementation of timely and diversified financing is needed. Therefore, with a focus on developing countries, this study presents and reflects on different relevant finance sources and instruments in terms of their linkage to HMCCC, effect on climate risks, implementation timing, and gender aspects. 10 finance instruments and tools that address HMCCC have been selected with a non-exhaustive approach for analysis, coming from a range of international, public, and private sources. Additionally, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on financing flows and options for HMCCC has been considered in an exclusive chapter. The study closes with recommendations for different target groups, especially national governments, and donor organizations.
Factsheet: Climate and Disaster Risk Finance in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report
This factsheet sheds light on the IPCC’s assessment of the role of Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance global climate change adaptation. It summarizes the key messages on CDRFI in Working Group II’s contribution on Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability to the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
The Nexus between International Gender and Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance Frameworks to Support with National Action
The InsuResilience Global Partnership (IGP) Vision 2025, supported by the Pro-poor Principles and the Declaration on Gender, unite policymakers from these diverse policy agendas under the common vision of building the resilience of the most vulnerable to climate change through financial protection. This document sets out an overview of these international commitments relevant to improving gender-smart CDRFI solutions as a starting point to advance global learning on the theme.
