New Guidelines to Incorporate Disaster Finance and Insurance into Climate Adaptation Planning
Launched during the Expert Dialogue on the Future of CDRF, these materials aim to help countries better plan for, manage, and recover from climate shocks. They support alignment with broader climate policy frameworks while leveraging Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) tools. The analytical report reviews how CDRFI instruments are currently reflected in countries’ climate policy frameworks, particularly within NAPs and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the UNFCCC, and offers key trends, practices, and actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners.
The step-by-step guidelines provide practical direction for integrating CDRFI throughout the NAP process, from planning to implementation, review, and cross-cutting activities. They include diagnostic questions, recommended tools, stakeholder roles, and measurable outputs to support implementation and progress tracking. These resources are designed to turn climate risk finance into concrete action, supporting governments in building financial resilience and safeguarding development gains.
