About this grant
The InsuResilience Solutions Fund (ISF) promotes the development of innovative and sustainable Climate Risk Insurance products in developing and emerging countries. Its aim is to improve the resilience of vulnerable households against climate change and natural disasters. The fund is managed by the Frankfurt School and hosts the Global Risk Modelling Alliance (GRMA). The Concept Development service helps identify innovative Climate Risk Insurance solutions. It provides guidance and advisory on the elements needed to design and conceptualise effective insurance projects. It sits within a tiered set of ISF offerings that also covers Climate Risk Analysis, Product Development, and Premium Financing Support. Focus areas include comprehensive climate risk analysis to inform risk management and adaptation decisions, studies and advice for new insurance concepts that meet the needs of vulnerable populations, co-funding for the development and market introduction of insurance products, and grant-based premium subsidy support for CDRFI solutions developed with ISF support. The ISF's grant-based co-funding of up to EUR 2.5m and advice is directed at partnerships between public entities, insurance-sector companies and NGOs. The stated purpose is to move new concepts into market-ready products and to scale successfully piloted products. The page does not specify a separate funding amount for the Concept Development service itself.
