The course places strong emphasis on application rather than theory alone. Learners are guided through the full climate risk insurance value chain—from climate risk translation and data analytics, to underwriting judgement, product design, pricing, reinsurance, and programme governance. Disaster Risk Finance frameworks, sovereign and meso-level risk transfer, and parametric and hybrid solutions are explored as part of an integrated system, rather than in isolation.

This Executive Certificate is intended for insurance practitioners, regulators, policymakers, development professionals, and risk managers who seek to engage meaningfully with climate risk insurance—whether as designers, implementers, supervisors, or informed decision-makers. It aims to build not only technical understanding, but also the professional judgement required to operate under uncertainty in a changing climate.

As climate risks continue to intensify, the need for skilled professionals who can bridge climate science, finance, and insurance has never been greater. This programme represents a contribution to building that capacity, supporting the development of insurance solutions that are credible, sustainable, and capable of strengthening resilience in a warming world.
