Bringing Climate Risk Insurance forward – the 2nd InsuResilience Global Partnership Forum at the COP24

On December 10th, KfW participated at the 2nd InsuResilience Global Partnership Forum “Paving the way to effective risk financing solutions”. The Forum is the annual meeting of the InsuResilience Global Partnership for Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance Solutions (IGP).

This year´s Forum took place at the margins of the UN Climate Conference (COP 24) in Katowice. The partnership counts more than 60 members, which convene annually to exchange experiences, share knowledge and raise awareness about disaster risk finance and insurance. In five different sessions, approaches to promote climate and disaster risk finance and insurance solutions in Pakistan, Colombia, Sri Lanka, Zambia and West Africa were discussed, including climate risk insurance concepts linked to KfW.
Both, the Sri Lanka and the Colombia session, debated insurance concepts which seek financial support from KfW’s InsuResilience Solutions Fund (ISF).
As the ISF is continuously evolving, we thank all the participants for fruitful and lively discussions.
