Glossary of key terms and concepts for gender, as it relates to Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance
This document aims to provide clear definitions for commonly used terms and key concepts related to the intersection of gender and climate and disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI). It was jointly developed by members of the InsuResilience Gender Working Group.
Integrating Gender Responsive Strategies into Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance Solutions
The InsuResilience Global Partnership in collaboration with FARM-D, organised a webinar on June 3rd 2020 to further disseminate the findings of a recent study commissioned by the InsuResilience Secretariat, “Integrating Gender Considerations into Different Models of Climate Risk Insurance (CRI)”. This event report summarizes key takeaways from the live talk.
Analysing Stakeholder Needs for Enhancing Climate and Disaster Risk Data
This study provides an overview of data, modelling and analytics in the context of disaster risk finance through the lens of a stakeholder analysis in order to identify supply- or demand-side gaps. It supports the InsuResilience Global Partnership (‘the Partnership’) as a point of departure to address these gaps, and to improve data production, access and application for better climate and disaster risk management and to assist with developing risk financing solution.
Ecosystem-based Adaptation and Insurance: Success, Challenges and Opportunities
Both Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and Climate Risk Finance & Insurance (CRFI) can be used to enhance adaptation, reduce and transfer risk, and build resilience to the growing impacts from natural and human-made hazards. There is a nascent and growing interest in where these strategies may intersect and be mutually beneficial for adaptation. The GIZ joint publication by the Global Project Mainstreaming EbA, the InsuResilience Secretariat and ACRI+ is available now.
Ecosystem-based Adaptation and Insurance: Success, Challenges and Opportunities
There are many opportunities for the greater integration of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and insurance for risk reduction, and many challenges that remain. This review assesses the successes, challenges, gaps and opportunities around the nascent but growing efforts in EbA-CRFI as an approach to climate adaptation.
Linking climate risk insurance with shock-responsive social protection
Combining insurance with broader social protection measures is one option to enhance the ability of vulnerable communities to absorb climate impacts. Drawing from emerging experiences, this policy brief examines the opportunities and challenges that arise.
Applying a gender lens to climate risk finance and insurance
Increasing climate risks require new adaptation and resilience building mechanisms for women and men. The paper identified a gap in the exploration of the gender-dimensions of different models of climate and disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI).
