Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance

Natural disasters can significantly strain budgets and impact livelihoods. In 2023 alone, they led to $250 billion in financial damages and the loss of 74,000 lives. Insurance, alongside risk-layered financing, can bolster resilience, but developing markets need data, capacity, and regulatory reforms.
