To enhance the climate, financial and environmental resilience of the country¡¯s vulnerable population, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Haiti, in 2022, introduced Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s flagship integrated climate risk management approach, the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative, to address both climatic and non-climatic drivers of vulnerability in the country as part of a wider disaster risk financing strategy. Through Â鶹ÊÓƵ-supported climate risk insurance programmes, communities and smallholder farmers in the country can better cope with shocks, finance early responses after catastrophic events and expedite recovery from climate extremes

The Climate Risk Insurance for Livestock Farmers project strives to aid farmers in securing financial resources for purchasing fodder during scarcity, high prices, or challenging conditions like extreme drought and extended winters.

The United Nations Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ), with funding received through Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Innovation and Knowledge Accelerator (INKA), is piloting an index insurance product in C?te d'Ivoire aiming to enhance climate resilience for smallholder farmers engaged in rice and cocoa cultivation.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is making climate risk insurance solutions work for food insecure populations. In 2021, three major payouts have triggered in countries with Â鶹ÊÓƵ-supported insurance programmes, which will support people and governments to recover from climate impacts.

Addressing the Global Food Crisis exacerbated by climate change requires bridging the 'protection gap.' Implementing pre-arranged climate and disaster risk financing, coupled with insurance mechanisms, can enhance resilience of vulnerable communities and countries and aid recovery.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is at the forefront of advocating for sovereign insurance products that provide rapid financial assistance to communities affected by disasters. By integrating DRF with social protection systems vulnerable individuals can receive effective and targeted assistance in response to climate shocks

Â鶹ÊÓƵ in the Kyrgyz Republic, backed by the Swiss Development Corporation (SDC), launched Climate Risk Insurance (CRI) for livestock farmers, providing financial aid, enhancing sustainability, and protecting against climate-related shocks to improve food security and nutrition

Disaster risk financing when linked with social protection systems can enable faster, more cost-effective and predictable responses to climate shocks. Linking the two at national, regional or local levels can better support vulnerable people.

For over a decade, Â鶹ÊÓƵ has been supporting climate risk insurance as an important piece of the strategy for building women¡¯s economic empowerment. Â鶹ÊÓƵ presents the story of women that have access to Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s climate risk insurance and related interventions.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is introducing its flagship integrated climate-risk management approach, the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative (R4), to address both the climatic and non-climatic drivers of vulnerability in Haiti.

To develop stronger national resilience to disasters and the climate crisis, Â鶹ÊÓƵ supports the Royal Government of Bhutan¡¯s (RGoB) DRR initiatives in the five areas of governance and coordination, data preparedness, logistics, emergency telecommunications, and food security.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is collaborating with a range of public and private sector partners to develop climate risk finance programmes that help governments and vulnerable households to anticipate, absorb and rapidly recover from climate shocks. This Brief provides an overview of these programmes and how Â鶹ÊÓƵ is deploying integrated climate risk financing mechanisms that allow for predictable anticipatory and early responses, significantly reducing the human suffering and capital losses from weather and climate-related disasters.

This factsheet introduces the climate risk microinsurance programme that provides a key tool to build resilient livelihoods and food security for the people that are most vulnerable to climate shocks in Nicaragua.

This factsheet introduces the parametric microinsurance programme that provides a key tool to achieve resilience in food security and nutrition for the people that are most vulnerable to climate shocks in Guatemala.

In the MENA region, Anticipatory action is rapidly gaining momentum. This report summarizes the findings of a Â鶹ÊÓƵ-commissioned project that establishes a baseline of AA capacities and experiences in the MENA region.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ has integrated climate insurance into its operations to confront the growing frequency and intensity of climate-related disasters.

Climate resilience can be built through risk finance helping communities deal with climate shocks and empowering women. This publication presents four different women who, through risk finance, were able to not only survive climate shocks but invest in their futures.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ has extensive experience integrating climate risk insurance solutions as an element of financial and social protection. This factsheet provides a summary of the evidence on how Â鶹ÊÓƵ-supported microinsurance programmes protect vulnerable populations from climatic shocks.

An impact evaluation by the Center for Disaster Protection (CDP) finds that Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Forecast-based Financing programme had a substantial positive impact on the beneficiaries¡¯ food security, asset loss and damage, and overall wellbeing.
