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

The document introduces a research paper examining the role of sovereign parametric insurance and regional risk pools (CCRIF, ARC, and PCRIC) in the disaster risk finance architecture for developing countries. It aims to assess how these instruments are deployed across different risk layers, the extent of government utilization, and their impact on protecting poor and vulnerable people, based on a literature review and consultations with 75 stakeholders.

• Regional risk pools, specifically CCRIF SPC, the African Risk Capacity (ARC), and the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company (PCRIC), provide developing countries with fast insurance payouts, risk management tools, and platforms for political dialogue on disaster risk management.
• Sovereign parametric insurance is a critical component of the financial architecture used by developing countries to cope with the increasing frequency and severity of climate-related disasters.
