INSURESILIENCE G7 TARGET
2020 marks the final year for the G7 InsuResilience target of 2015, according to which up to 400 million people in the most vulnerable developing countries should gain access to financial protection against climate-related hazards by 2020. The number of people protected under the G7 InsuResilience Initiative and the InsuResilience Global Partnership has grown strongly since 2015. Between 2015 and 2020, joint efforts under the Partnership in total enabled access to financial protection for over 350 million people in vulnerable countries. In 2020 alone, 137 million poor and vulnerable people benefitted globally from active Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) solutions currently being implemented by programmes under the Partnership. This represents a significant increase compared with just over 30 million in 2015.
As part of the ambitious and further developed commitments under Vision 2025, the Partnership aims to provide 500 million poor and vulnerable people annually with financial coverage through CDRFI by 2025. Currently, 22 programmes with 218 projects in 101 countries that contribute to the Partnership’s vision are already active or in development. With many solutions becoming active over the coming years, and existing risk pools and insurance schemes expanding, the number of people benefitting from solutions under the Partnership is expected to grow significantly going forward.

In 2020, Haiti was hit by Tropical Cyclone Laura. More than 44,0000 people were adversely affected by heavy rainfall, and more than 6,000 homes flooded. In consequence, the country’s Excess Rainfall parametric insurance policy with the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF) was triggered and Haiti received a payout of approximately USD 7.2 million to enable quick relief.
CCRIF has made payouts amounting to USD 170 million...

COVID-19 and the InsuResilience Global Partnership
The Partnership’s High-Level Consultative Group endorsed the need for a multi-dimensional view on risk in Climate and Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance practice, including pandemic perils.
Of the 22 implementing programmes under the Partnership, 11 already offer pandemics solutions and products or already have such a solution in their project pipeline.
In response to the pandemic, CCRIF offered a 50% reduction in premium costs on their parametric insurance policies or an increase in coverage at no additional cost to support Central American countries and the Dominican Republic.
Germany stepped in with its emergency Covid-19 support and assumed premium payments of around EUR 19.5 million for the drought insurance offered by ARC. This protects up to 20 million poor and vulnerable people in Africa.
