There is growing awareness of the need for rigorous climate and disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI) evidence. MCII is shepherding a process to development an evidence roadmap to generate strategic analytics, promote evidence-based action, and develop (and share) best practice. This process kicked off at a virtual workshop, hosted by the Munich Climate Insurance Initiative (MCII) in partnership with the InsuResilience Global Partnership, from 8-11 September, 2020. The workshop was based on a series of evidence briefs, drafted by experts and capturing the state of knowledge in a variety

The overall aim of the project is to increase resilience to extreme weather events by devising on an integrated climate risk management approach that includes insurance. The ACRI+ project worked to collect the experiences and best practices from different organizations across the globe and promote these findings at international conferences and workshops, as well as on their online database “Climate Insurance”.

This roadmap is developed from work undertaken on ICRM through the “Advancing Climate Risk Insurance plus” (ACRI+) implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für International Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Munich Climate Insurance Initiative (MCII). In Morocco, ACRI+ is working with Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Ait-Melloul industrial zone to support the development of financial and strategic capacities for managing climate risks, particularly from flooding, with a focus on the potential role of risk transfer. La gestion intégrée des risques climatiques (ICRM) est une

This roadmap is developed from work undertaken on ICRM through the “Promoting Integrated Mechanisms for Climate Risk Management and Transfer” project (“ICRM project”) implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für International Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Munich Climate Insurance Initiative (MCII). In Ghana, the ICRM project is working across three Workstreams within the agriculture sector: (1) sovereign drought risk insurance, (2) building capacities for risk prevention and risk reduction and (3) the development of insurance products for commercial agricultural actors.

In China, the ACRI+ project is working with public and private stakeholders to improve the resilience of urban areas and especially urban infrastructure prone to mid-long term climate and disaster risks.

In Barbados, the ACRI+ project is working with stakeholders to improve the resilience of existing and future renewable energy generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure to climate and disaster risks.

ACRI+’s objective is to enhance local climate and disaster risk practices, therewith integrating residual risk into the disaster risk management cycle of prevention, preparation, response, and recover practices. ACRI+ operates in three countries with varying climate risks. In Barbados, ACRI+ supports local authorities with their envisioned renewable energy transition and aims to improve the resilience of existing and future renewable energy generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure towards extreme weather events. The Barbados Renewable Energy Association (BREA) is the local

The success factors represent a synthesis of a series of knowledge management products in the context of the project and are aimed at a wider audience of stakeholders that wish to apply commercial agricultural insurance concepts in developing country contexts. The success factors are primarily relevant for micro-level insurance, but some aspects are also applicable to meso-level (portfolio) insurance and macro-level insurance.

This publication has been developed within Advancing Climate Risk Insurance Plus (ACRI+), a project implemented by Munich Climate Insurance Initiative and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH. ACRI+ is part of the project Promoting Integrated Mechanisms for Climate Risk Management and Transfer, implemented by GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), funded under BMU’s International Climate Initiative (IKI). The aim of the project is to collaborate with the public authorities in Ghana, Morocco, China

Government institutions provide support to develop the market for innovative extreme weather insurance and adopt the regulatory and institutional frameworks so that these kinds of insurance products can be promoted. Challenges related to this objective are: Lack of an effective regulatory environment for establishing products as parametric index insurance exists in the region; the current Insurance Acts in the target countries do not address weather-based index insurance. Previous market failures in the Caribbean have resulted in extra vigilance and caution being exercised by the regulatory
