Climate insurance in developing countries

Abstract

CICERO Center for International Climate Research and Vista Analyse have been commissioned by Norad to undertake a mapping of relevant literature to gather knowledge about insurance arrangements aimed at climate change. The focus has primarily been on sovereign level insurance arrangements, but also arrangements aimed at small-scale food producers, and mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project has been carried out by Andreas Hoel-Holt and Haakon Vennemo at Vista Analyse, and Sofie Skjeflo at CICERO Center for International Climate Research. Quality Assurance has been carried out by Asbjørn Torvanger at CICERO. We would like to thank Norad for an interesting assignment. Lauren Naville Gisnås has been our con-tact person at Norad. We are grateful for useful input from Norad to an earlier draft of this report.
