Climate Microinsurance Products: Innovative Risk Solutions for a Changing World Training Course

Introduction

Climate change has intensified the frequency and severity of weather-related disasters, leaving vulnerable communities exposed to devastating financial shocks. Traditional insurance models often fail to serve low-income households and small-scale farmers, making climate microinsurance a critical solution for resilience building. By providing affordable protection against climate risks such as droughts, floods, storms, and unpredictable weather, climate microinsurance enables households and businesses to recover quickly and invest in sustainable growth.

This 10-day training course on Climate Microinsurance Products equips participants with the knowledge and tools to design, implement, and scale innovative insurance solutions that address climate-related risks. Through practical insights, global case studies, and product development strategies, participants will learn how climate microinsurance promotes financial inclusion, enhances climate adaptation, and reduces vulnerability for at-risk populations worldwide.
