Beneficiaries of Rapid Response Reef Risk Financing in the MAR Region

Insurance for reefs is an innovative financial mechanism that can contribute to reef restoration and recovery. The insurance element is part of a larger programme of work to build long-term resilience of reefs and the livelihoods they support and protect along the entire Mesoamerican Reef. In preparation for the development of a reef insurance product in the Mesoamerican Reef (MAR) Region, the ISF funded two preparatory studies by WTW and MAR Fund.

The InsuResilience Solutions Fund (ISF) supports the development of innovative climate risk insurance solutions by funding preparatory studies necessary for the development of the insurance concept as well as for assessing the feasibility of the envisaged solution.

The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the conservation of the MAR region (Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras) by implementing a parametric insurance model for reefs to deliver quick financing for rapid response and reef restoration actions, after damages caused by hurricanes.
