Ecosystem-based Adaptation and Insurance: Success, Challenges and Opportunities -- new publication and webinar

Posted on: 8 Nov 2019 / Submitted by: Tatirose Vijitpan

A new publication titled “Ecosystem-based Adaptation and Insurance: Success, Challenges and Opportunities” sheds light on the linkages between Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), and more broadly Nature-based Solutions (NbS), with risk financing and insurance instruments, and the potential as well as the limitations of a strengthened engagement between the insurance and environmental sectors for improved resilience outcomes.

 

This study is a joint effort of the InsuResilience Global Partnership, ACRI+ and the Global Project Mainstreaming EbA implemented by GIZ on behalf of BMU. It was conducted by The Nature Conservancy, Social Impact Partners, and the University of California Santa Cruz, and is part of a series of knowledge contributions to the working group on “integrated resilience approaches” under the InsuResilience Global Partnership.

 

The findings will be presented next Thursday, November 14 at 16:30-18:00 CET, in a webinar which will be recorded and published on adaptationcommunity.net.
