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.
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.
PIEVC Green Protocol — Integrating Ecosystem-based Adaptation into Infrastructure Climate Risk Assessments
The PIEVC Green Protocol describes a step-by-step methodology of risk assessment and optional engineering analysis for evaluating the risk of climate change on infrastructure, while considering the broader social and environmental systems within which the infrastructure component is situated. Information developed through the assessment process will assist owners, operators and other professionals, to effectively incorporate climate change adaptation into design, development and management of existing and planned infrastructure and its surrounding environment, including ecosystems.
Climate Justice in EbA: the new publications collection
The IKI-funded and GIZ-implemented Global Project Mainstreaming EbA is launching the new collection of publications on “Climate justice in Ecosystem-based Adaptation”. In early 2022 the Global Project on Mainstreaming EbA together with FAKT Consult launched a process to assess and contribute to bridging the gap between theory and practice of justice-based EbA. The outcomes of this process have been used to develop a collection of publications which hold knowledge and can provide guidance to bridge the gap towards justice-based EbA on the ground.
PIEVC High Level Screening Guide: A guide to completing screening level climate change risk assessments using the PIEVC Process
This PIEVC High Level Screening Guide (HLSG) is based on standard climate risk assessment methods and is part of the PIEVC Family of Ressources. The PIEVC HLSG process is an approach for undertaking vulnerability, risk, and resilience assessments. It is flexible enough to be applied to full assets or systems, to a single element of infrastructure, or to an entire portfolio of numerous assets. PIEVC HLSG assessments result in the characterization and ranking of climate risk scenarios and the identification of those scenarios of highest priority for adaptation planning or more comprehensive analysis.
PIEVC Large Portfolio Assessment Manual — A Guide for Prioritizing a Large Portfolio based on Climate Vulnerability
Part of the PIEVC Family of Resources, this manual provides guidance for infrastructure owners on how to use vulnerability and risk assessment to inform priority setting and managing climate resilience of a large portfolio of assets. It defines portfolio as a collection of infrastructre assets that are characterized by different climate vulnerabilities and risks.
PIEVC Catalogue — A Guide for Selecting Climate Risk Assessment Methods, Data, and Supporting Materials
The PIEVC Catalogue is designed to help decision-makers navigate through the different considerations and options for assessing climate change risk and resiliency using the PIEVC Family of Resources. The catalogue guides the users through the objective-setting process and based on their objectives, helps them choose the optimum assessment paths and tools.
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.
Solutions in Focus – Key Themes for Ecosystem-based Adaptation
This publication intends to inspire policy- and decision-makers as well as practitioners by showcasing a selection of solutions that have been applied in very different settings and focusing on key aspects and themes that are important for the longevity of EbA. It shows that EbA has ‘many faces’: it is being implemented successfully in a broad range of countries and ecosystems and it is driven forward by all kinds of people and organisations.
