Essay in the subject Environmental Sciences - Climate and environmental protection, , language: English, abstract: This paper examines the role of Climate Risk Insurance (CRI) as a strategy to mitigate the financial impacts of extreme weather events on the world's most vulnerable regions, particularly low-income countries. While CRI offers potential benefits by providing timely financial resources and promoting resilience, it also faces challenges such as affordability, accessibility, and moral hazard. The study explores different insurance models, including micro and macro-level approaches, and evaluates their effectiveness in addressing climate-related losses. It also discusses the necessity of international cooperation, such as solidarity funds and climate damage tax systems, to support the implementation of CRI. Ultimately, the paper argues for a comprehensive, justice-oriented approach to CRI, emphasizing the need for accessible insurance solutions and direct aid mechanisms to protect the most vulnerable populations from the escalating impacts of climate change.
