PROTECTING LIVELIHOODS: CLIMATE & DISASTER FINANCE

At the core of our work is supporting the world’s most vulnerable communities in making informed climate decisions. Financial resilience is essential to helping these communities withstand the growing pressures of climate change and recover quickly from disasters.

We consider the distinct needs and capacities of different communities, especially marginalized groups, and ensure that their voices are heard in adaptation planning. We co-create solutions by connecting local expertise and lived experience with our global network of experts, NGOs, and financial institutions.

Our work enables the targeted identification and mapping of at-risk communities, infrastructure, and assets.

Together with local partners, we identify appropriate adaptation measures—ranging from ecosystem-based strategies and infrastructure improvements to capacity building—and design tailored insurance solutions to manage residual risks, such as affordable microinsurance and parametric insurance.
Education is a key part of our work. Through training sessions, interactive materials, and online courses, we raise awareness and build local ownership of risk management solutions, increasing both uptake and long-term sustainability.

Our work is grounded in evidence. We monitor and assess the impacts of our initiatives to ensure they align with community needs and remain effective over time. This integrated approach of combining analytics, diverse financial tools, and adaptive measures, strengthens the resilience of climate-vulnerable communities, empowering them to better withstand, respond to, and recover from climate-related shocks.
