Livestream Replay - Uninsurable? How the Natural Disaster Fund contributes to close the protection gap
Building Bridges 2024 provided an insider's perspective of how the Natural Disaster Fund (NDF) deployed publicly-supported risk capacity to protect vulnerable women in India against extreme heat waves.
A panel of distinguished experts shared real-world solutions:
Bijal Brahmbhatt, Executive Director, Mahila Housing Trust, India
Stefan W. Hirche, Principal Portfolio Manager, KfW, Germany
Daniel Stander, Deputy Chair, Resilient Cities Network, UK
Kay Tuschen (Moderator), Head of Climate Resilience Solutions, CelsiusPro
The NDF, managed by Global Parametrics team (a CelsiusPro Group company) and funded by UK and German governmental entities, deploys its committed risk capacity to advance parametric risk transfer solutions that offer swift relief for response and recovery efforts after extreme weather and NatCat events. In 2023 alone, the NDF benefitted 31 million poor and vulnerable people across 70 countries.
Building Bridges is a global forum driving the transition to a sustainable financial system that will be held alongside the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) 18th Global Roundtable (GRT) 2024.
