financial risk transfer
mechanisms are being tested in the context of
development and climate change adaptation.
These instruments show the capacity to
dramatically reduce conditions of chronic
underdevelopment by both enabling
investment and reducing shocks in
agricultural livelihoods. However, important
issues have been raised, including the potential
for scaling up and the role of climate-informed
science to help overcome some of the
challenges to scale up. The IRI is convening
experts from fields as diverse as reinsurance,
climate science, economics and food security
to participate in an upcoming workshop, in an
effort to gain insight on how innovative tools
and research can best serve development,
today.
This workshop also represents an important
step in the production of a special issue of
Climate and Society, focusing on index
insurance.
The workshop will focus specifically on
identifying and distilling key technical issues, rather than covering broader issues such as climate risk management strategies or how to implement index insurance as a tool to reduce poverty.

will focus on the current state of
the art technologies and its potential use
to support the scaling up of index insurance
identifying priority actions and research
areas. Topic Papers can be found on the right hand side of the portal.
