Climate risk insurance is a research domain and policy concept centered on financial mechanisms for transferring economic risks arising from climate change impacts, including extreme weather events and slow-onset changes. This academic field investigates the design, effectiveness, equitable implementation, and integration of insurance solutions, often employing parametric or indemnity triggers, as strategies for climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and managing climate-related loss and damage, particularly focusing on enhancing resilience and facilitating post-event recovery in vulnerable contexts.
