Insurance Instruments for Adaptation to Climate Change
The purpose of the project was to trial the development and introduction of sustainable weather insurance solutions in two pilot regions. This took place in close cooperation with future customers, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC), the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and Chinese and international insurance companies. Supplementary advisory measures were helping to establish the necessary political and legal framework for this type of insurance. The target group for these insurance projects were smallholders who are especially vulnerable to the impacts of extreme weather (for example droughts and floods).
