Gender Analysis of Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance in Costa Rica
Through in-depth desk research and key informant interviews, this paper synthesises the Climate Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) landscape in Costa Rica, focusing on identifying relevant gaps in integrating gender and, in part, social inclusion. To this end, the report presents Costa Rica’s vulnerability to climate-induced disasters, the differentiated vulnerabilities to climate change impact, and a review of the country’s CDRFI-related policy frameworks, ongoing initiatives and emerging opportunities.

Typhoon Risk Insurance for Marine Protected Areas in the Philippines
The Philippines is host to more than 1800 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and is committed to significantly expand their number and size under the 30 x 30 framework. These MPAs face an increasing threat from multiple hazards, most notably typhoons, which can severely damage mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass meadows. Already chronically underfunded, many MPA management councils struggle to replace lost monitoring assets and finance rehabilitation work. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) commissioned this pre-feasibility study in order to analyse the potential of new insurance solutions to assist MPAs bouncing back quickly in the aftermath of typhoon events.
