  • MCII, ClimateWise, the Geneva Association and UNEP-FI have launched its Global Insurance Industry Statement on "Adaptation to Climate Change in Developing Countries". The statement focuses on how governments and the insurance industry can work together in managing climate risks in developing countries and highlights on the contributions to adaptation efforts by both the insurance industry (i.e. expertise in risk management, prioritising adaptation measures, incentivising loss reduction, developing new insurance products, raising awareness among the many stakeholders of the insurance industry) as well as governments. Read the insurance industry statement [here] and find out more about the launch event [here].

 

  • MCII published its new Policy Brief on "Solutions for Vulnerable Countries and People". In the light of the advanced adaptation negotiating text, which recognizes the importance of risk reduction and insurance, particularly in paragraphs 4 and 8,  delegates have shifted focus towards the design and implementation of risk reduction and insurance approaches. This new publication aims at answering questions on how to link disaster risk reduction (DRR) and insurance for adaptation, costs and benefits, institutional arrangements, data availability, and the roles of the public and private sector.
