From April 10th to 11th, the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management hosted international experts for the second edition of the Climate Risk Finance Forum (CRFF). This year’s forum delved into the complexities of subsidised insurance within the wider framework of Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI). The focus was on reimagining premium support strategies to balance immediate needs with long-term sustainability. Central to this approach was the operationalisation of the SMART principles in premium support, incorporating new insights to refine objectives, eligibility criteria, and support duration for vulnerable populations.
Key questions that guided the discussions:
- How can premium support effectively bridge affordability gaps while promoting systemic resilience?
- What strategies ensure support is appropriately targeted, equitable, and aligned with overarching development goals?
- And how do we integrate innovative approaches like decision matrices to streamline support allocation and foster long-term viability?
We extend our sincere gratitude to all participants for their active engagement. A special thanks to our keynote speakers, panellists, speakers, moderators, and presenters for their invaluable insights into current trends. Their contributions were key in making the forum a success and advancing the conversation on enhancing resilience against climate risks.
As we reflect on the outcomes of the forum, we are inspired by a renewed sense of purpose and optimism. The connections made and knowledge shared have laid a solid foundation for ongoing collaboration and progress. Together, we are dedicated to building a more resilient future where vulnerable populations are better protected and supported.
