Insurance and Risk Finance Facility - General Overview 2024

September 22, 2024

UNDP uses insurance and risk finance to build resilience, incentivize growth and safeguard development. The UNDP Insurance and Risk Finance Facility, housed within the Sustainable Finance Hub, is currently working with governments and the insurance industry at scale in 39 countries.  

In an era of climate hazards, health risks and other shocks, insurance and risk finance are powerful tools for building resilient countries, communities, households, businesses, nature and food systems. UNDP’s IRFF is committed to developing and implementing the insurance solutions needed right now, while working with governments on the long-term financial management of growing risks.
