Launch event: ‘Parametric Insurance to Build Financial Resilience’

Date: October 4th 2024 | Time: 12:00pm CET | LinkedIn Event

Join us for the launch of the joint UNDP-Generali report ' Parametric Insurance to Build Financial Resilience’ highlighting the transformational role that parametric insurance solutions can and should play in closing the protection gap and helping to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Parametric insurance – which is based on triggers rather than actual losses - is a complementary risk transfer mechanism to fill gaps left by traditional indemnity-based insurance. This public event will showcase how parametric insurance can help governments, businesses and communities financially prepare for rising risks.

Industry experts and public sector representatives will dive into a range of parametric insurance case studies featured in the report, as well as tools to increase governments’, businesses’ and communities’ understanding of how parametric policies work, and how they protect people and assets in the event of hazard and shock.

The event will speak to a broader call to action for greater collaboration between insurance, government and development actors to allow parametric insurance to make a meaningful contribution to closing the protection gap.
