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.
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).
