'Saving for a rainy day': Micro-insurance as climate change adaptation strategies for SIDS

The policy brief examines the role of micro-insurance in mitigating the economic impacts of climate change on vulnerable coastal sectors in SIDS, noting that traditional coping mechanisms like household savings are insufficient.

• Climate change and weather-related risks cause significant economic losses in SIDS, particularly affecting tourism, fisheries, and agriculture in small and medium coastal communities where low incomes and limited coping strategies increase vulnerability.
