A Year of Growth, Impact, and Ambition for 2025

As we step into 2025, it’s a moment to celebrate how far we’ve come and set our sights on the road ahead. The past year was filled with achievements, challenges, and invaluable lessons—each one shaping the foundation for an even stronger future.

By the close of 2024, our collective efforts had led to nearly 15 million Climate Insurance policies issued, reaching an estimated 75 million beneficiaries worldwide. These numbers aren’t just statistics—they represent smallholder farmers securing their livelihoods, families rebuilding after climate shocks, and businesses gaining the confidence to grow despite uncertainty. But beyond expanding access, we’ve also been equipping the industry with the knowledge to drive meaningful change.

From technical workshops that trained thousands of insurance professionals—regulators, government officials, and private sector players—to our eLearning modules that have empowered stakeholders with the expertise to better serve vulnerable communities, our work has strengthened the global insurance ecosystem.

Looking Ahead: Scaling Impact, Deepening Inclusion

The insights gained from 2024 will be the fuel that propels us forward. As GIIF expands into a broader, more inclusive initiative, we are sharpening our focus on scalable and sustainable solutions. This means not only broadening access to insurance but also integrating digital innovation, gender inclusion, and cross-sector collaboration into everything we do. Partnerships—especially with initiatives like Global Shield—will be key in ensuring that insurance remains a powerful tool for resilience.

Our next phase is about turning lessons into action—ensuring that the millions of women and men in rural areas don’t just survive climate challenges but thrive despite them. More flexible, market-driven products, built to withstand evolving risks, will help make resilience an everyday reality.

A Shared Commitment

None of this would be possible without the incredible dedication of our partners—private sector leaders, governments, academics, and organizations like the Insurance Development Forum. Your collaboration has been instrumental in making GIIF’s impact tangible, helping to ensure that smallholder farmers and micro-entrepreneurs have the financial tools they need to break free from the cycle of poverty. As we move forward, let’s continue building on this momentum—together. 2025 will be a year of growth, innovation, and inclusion, and we’re excited for what lies ahead.
