Workshop at a glance
To inform the policy discussion on comprehensive risk management approaches and to support climate negotiators in their short and long-term strategies to address loss and damage, MCII and GIZ will host this 2-day expert workshop on Innovative insurance solutions for climate change: Creating a toolkit on how to integrate insurance into a country-driven climate risk management approach for practitioners and policymakers experienced in weather risk insurance, disaster risk reduction, and adaptation. The workshop will offer experts an opportunity to design a step-by-step country-driven risk management strategy that includes insurance approaches, based on real-country scenarios provided in the workshop; to share case studies and illustrations on how to encourage a comprehensive risk management approach in emerging economies and developing countries; and a chance to explore innovative insurance approaches to address the negative consequences of climate change if society’s efforts to mitigate and adapt are not sufficient.
