The Caribbean Policy Development Centre (CPDC) in partnership with the Munich Climate Insurance Initiative (MCII) launched the Caribbean chapter of a project entitled “Multi-Actor Partnership for pro-poor and gender equitable climate risk financing in the context of the InsuResilience Global Partnership’s Vision 2025,”.
The project is global in scope and aims to build multi-actor partnerships on national, regional and international levels – bringing together civil society, policymakers, the private sector and researchers. The objective is to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on vulnerable and marginalised groups by engaging in-country stakeholders on pro-poor, gender-equitable and human rights-based Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) measures at the local and national level, and by advocating for grassroots and national perspectives into international processes, such as the InsuResilience Global Partnership. Other national MAP chapters include Bangladesh, Laos, Madagascar, Malawi, Philippines, Senegal, Sri Lanka. On the global level, efforts are led and coordinated by CARE Germany, Germanwatch and MCII.
CPDC is the lead implementation partner in the Caribbean, with MAPs Focal Points in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada and Jamaica. The Caribbean MAPs initiative has crafted a comprehensive long-term implementation plan for project countries, emphasising the significance of Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance.
CPDC welcomes the opportunity to engage new members and stakeholders in relation to the project activities, to foster a collaborative approach towards enhancing resilience, particularly for vulnerable and marginalised groups.
By signing unto this partnership, you are signalling your commitment to jointly working on inclusive CDRFI solutions, and to advocating for the adoption of such measures by regional policymakers.
