LIVE TALK 01
Integrating Gender-Responsive Strategies into Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance Solutions

—————–

+++ About the webinar +++

This is the first session of a webinar series organized and promoted by FARM-D and the InsuResilience Global Partnership within the framework of their engagement with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

Gender-responsive climate risk insurance (CRI) schemes can provide risk protection that addresses differences in women’s and men’s vulnerability to both climate risks and disaster-induced wellbeing losses. Within this framework in late 2018 the InsuResilience Global Partnership (‘the Partnership’) made a clear commitment to take proactive steps to integrate an intentional focus on gender within the execution of its mandate.

This commitment was informed by the findings of an initial background paper ‘Applying a Gender Lens to Climate Risk Finance and Insurance’ which identified a gap in the exploration of the gender-dimensions of different models of CRI. Building on this, in 2019 the Partnership commissioned a study ‘Integrating gender consideration into different models of climate risk insurance’ which explored the case for incorporating gender with a particular focus on women into different CRI schemes and provider types and identified examples of existing gender approaches.

The webinar provides insights from the study and aims at generating an interactive discussion among key stakeholders on how gender responsive solutions can be integrated into different models of climate and disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI). It is the first of a webinar series, laying the foundation to later webinars that will provide a deep dive into the recommendations that stem from the above-mentioned study, including an interactive discussion on how to include a gender-lens within monitoring and evaluation frameworks and investment or grant-making.

The purpose of the webinar series is to gather insights of various stakeholders to inform guidance material being developed on how to include gender-smart solutions under the InsuResilience Global Partnership broader mandate.

The overall objectives for the webinar are:

• Providing key insights on the rationale and models of gender-sensitive approaches as presented in the recent InsuResilience Global Partnership study;
• Presenting and share concrete examples of existing gender-responsive CDRFI approaches and good practices; and
• Informing the development of guidance and documentation to be developed on gender-responsive CDRFI approaches as part of the InsuResilience Global Partnership gender action plan.

This webinar is intended for a broad range of stakeholder groups, including governments, civil society, international organizations, academia, and industry, with varying levels of understanding on the topic of gender but familiar with and/or sector experts on CDRFI.
