The Munich Climate Change Insurance Initiative is the peak body looking at this issue. It has finally released its full program of side events and it is becoming clear that it has a strong focus on Africa and LDCs. The four side events being held by the MCII are titled:
- · Relevance of loss and damage for LDCs
- · Making Risk Management and Insurance Solutions Work for Vulnerable People in Africa
- · Insuring the Uncertain: Microenterprise Demand for Weather Related Insurance and Risk Management
- · MCII side event.
This shows that the climate change insurance initiative is focused on those most vulnerable to the effects of climate change and is looking at the most vulnerable enterprises (small, medium and micro) in the most vulnerable nations.
It also shows, through other links who the other organisations that are participating in this effort are, including the Red Cross, WFP, ICCCAD among others. There are also representatives from several at risk nations participating.
