PRESENTATION
Faced with increasing exposure to disasters, Asian countries are in growing need of risk management strategies. One of the important challenges is financing disaster-related expenses. Governments need to broaden their financial options.
This OECD-CFD seminar will discuss different climate financing solutions in Asia, including disaster insurance, catastrophe bond, and insurance-linked securities, to strengthen the resilience to climate disasters.
