Environment and climate change

Affordable protection and immediate support: climate risk insurance for farmers in India.

Extreme weather events are occurring more and more frequently. New insurance models protect farmers from losses.

Climate change is already making its mark. Droughts, floods and other extreme weather events are increasing all over the world.

The consequences are also significant in economic terms: according to the calculations of the World Bank, the losses they cause amount to about USD 300 billion each year.

The change hits the countries in the South particularly hard, especially with regard to agriculture. Small-scale farmers in particular are suffering from crop failures that can threaten their economic livelihood.
