+++ About the webinar +++

International policy frameworks have placed climate and disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI) firmly on the international agenda. These frameworks also acknowledge the relevance of gender-sensitive and -responsive approaches to mitigate existing gender inequalities and take climate change action towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context there is a consensus underlining a clear imperative to consider the gender-dimensions of climate risk in finance and insurance. As such, gender-responsive CDRFI lies at the convergence of multiple international policy priorities and global commitments framed by the SDGs. For example, climate change; disaster risk reduction; inclusive finance, agriculture and social protection. Moreover, each theme is rooted in its own set of international frameworks and processes, such as the UNFCCC and its Gender Action Plan.

At a national level these entry points converge and are translated in national policies and strategies, and in turn rendered into practice at an institutional level in the provision of CDRFI. While there are existing good practices, there is the opportunity to convene multiple stakeholders with diverse entry points to CDRFI to share experiences. Moreover, there is an urgent need to address challenges that exist in terms of policy coherence and implementation on the ground and identify practice gaps that could hinder progress on the ground. This webinar seeks to explore these themes.

The objectives of this Live Talk 03 are to:

  • Explore how gender-responsive Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) lies at the intersection of various international policy commitments and agendas and where there are gaps;
  • Identify existing approaches, challenges and opportunities for how international gender-related CDRFI policy commitments and strategies are implemented in practice at a national and institutional level; and
  • Gather input for the development of practitioner-driven guidance on translating international and institutional CDRFI gender commitments and strategies into action on the ground; a policy brief on how international gender and CDRFI policy agendas intersect and recommendations for further policy coherence.

At the start of the session, a presentation will be provided to highlight examples of international policy entry points for the CDRFI gender agenda. Followed by two panel discussions: 

Session 1: Gender and CDRFI: Converging international policy agendas 

Interactive panel discussion on the various policy entry points to the topic of gender-responsive CDRFI. Panelists from multiple policy entry points will set out and reflect on how gender and CDRFI are reflected in their respective international policy commitments and actions, where there are gaps and recommendations for further policy coherence and action to   ensure that CDRFI reaches poor and vulnerable women as well as men in developing countries. 

Session 2: Translating Policy Commitments into Practice  

Interactive panel discussion on implementing international gender commitments in practice. This session will consider two angles of translating diverse international policy commitments related to gender and CDRFI at a national level and institutional level. The discussion will start from considering the national policy perspective and how gender and CDRFI are integrated into NDCs, NAPs and national green growth/economic, financial inclusion and disaster management, and social protection strategies, to ensure that CDRFI reaches poor and vulnerable women as well as men in developing countries. In turn, it will explore institutional approaches to translating international gender and CDRFI commitments in inclusive climate action and CDRFI in practice and successful approaches and challenges, as well as practice gaps.
