Gender Analysis of Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance in Senegal

Climate change poses significant risks and impacts that disproportionately affect vulnerable groups, particularly women. While measures such as access to credit, savings tools, and affordable insurance products can help mitigate losses and damages caused by climate-related events, there are stark gender-specific differences in how these risks and impacts are experienced.
This review primarily focuses on the integration of gender considerations in CDRFI policies and programmes in Senegal, with only partial exploration of other aspects of social inclusion. The aim is to identify gaps and provide recommendations for integrating and/or strengthening gender-responsive approaches within CDRFI.

Gender Analysis of Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance in the Pacific

Climate change and disasters in Pacific Island Countries (PICs) disproportionately impact women and vulnerable groups due to existing gender inequalities, limited economic access, and sociocultural barriers. These events cause economic losses and while emerging initiatives are now integrating gender and social inclusion into climate and disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI) solutions, significant gaps remain in ensuring women’s equitable access to insurance, participation in decision-making, and financial literacy. This analysis looks at tailored, gender- sensitive financial products that can enhance women’s resilience and inclusion in climate risk management efforts.
