Now reading: Building resilience against flooding in urban areas

Resilience

Resilience relates to the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions and systems to absorb and address an increasingly complex range of shocks.

Our resilience work encompasses:

Insurance markets. Including microinsurance, insurtechs and insurance for development.

Remittances. Understanding barriers to remittances to recommendations for action.

Urban resilience. How to respond to climate change and natural disasters by building more sustainable, insurable cities and infrastructure.
