Nigeria can build a robust resilience framework to ensure that its agricultural sector is able to cope with the shocks and stresses of climate change through weather insurance. While there is already demand for index insurance, bundling insurance with production inputs and finance can make insura...

One of the main challenges of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is finding ways to promote the adoption at scale (Editor’s note: 'scaling', 'at scale' or 'to scale' are used throughout this article to mean ‘scaling-out’) of CSA practices and technologies. Climate services and insurance can constit...


Loboguerrero Rodriguez, Ana MaríaHansen, JamesBaethgen, Walter E.Martínez Barón, Deissy[Climate services and insurance: scaling climate smart agriculture]Climate services and insurance: scaling climate smart agriculture

Climate change is expected to increase the risk from extreme climate events, such as drought, flooding and heat waves, in much of the developing world (IPCC 2012, 2014). Extreme events erode farmers’ livelihoods through loss of productive assets, while the uncertainty associated with climate vari...


Hansen, JamesRose, AlisonHellin, Jonathan[Prospects for scaling up the contribution of index insurance to smallholder adaptation to climate risk]Prospects for scaling up the contribution of index insurance to smallholder adaptation to climate risk

Adaptation to anthropogenic climate change is the biggest challenge that humankind faces. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a synthesis of the state of the science, impacts, and policy, with a focus on long-term climate trends. However, the worst impacts of climate cha...

Scaling insurance to transfer climate risk from the rural poor to financial markets is vital to enhance agricultural risk management in developing countries, but insurance programs need to address several challenges in order to improve resilience at scale. A mix of stakeholder expertise is requir...

The review assesses the empirical knowledge base on gender-based differences in access, use and benefits from rural climate services to analyse gender equality challenges and identify pathways for making climate services more responsive to the needs of rural women and men. While existing research...
