The Future of Disaster Risk Pooling for Developing Countries: Where Do We Go from Here?

This research paper by the World Resources Institute examines the role and evolution of sovereign parametric insurance pools—specifically CCRIF, ARC, and PCRIC—in helping developing countries manage the increasing frequency and severity of climate-related disasters.

• Three regional risk pools—CCRIF SPC (CCRIF), the African Risk Capacity (ARC), and the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company (PCRIC)—provide sovereign parametric insurance to developing countries, offering benefits such as rapid payouts, risk management tools, and platforms for political dialogue on disaster risk management.
