Health & Environment on the post-2015 agenda for Europe and Central AsiaUNDP Eurasia
Dr. Christoph Hamelmann, the Regional Team Leader for HIV, Health and Development at UNDP Europe and Central Asia, gave a presentation on aligning the post-2015 sustainable development agenda with the European Environment and Health Process. He discussed how health and development are inextricably linked through social, economic, and environmental determinants of health and health equity. The Sustainable Development Goals presented in the Open Working Group's report affect health, environment, and development enablers. UNDP's program in Europe and Central Asia seeks to strengthen democratic governance, reduce conflict and disaster risk, promote inclusive and sustainable growth, and prioritize poverty, inequality, and exclusion.
The document discusses sustainable development and the "sweet spot" where economic growth, social justice, and environmental protection overlap and reinforce each other. It promotes making this area of overlap as large as possible at the Rio+20 conference. Several countries then outline sustainable development initiatives, reports, and leadership participation at Rio+20, including green economy strategies, education programs, and resource management projects. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating the economic, social, and environmental pillars of sustainable development at all levels of governance.

This document summarizes the challenges faced by governments in financing disaster risks and the role of risk transfer solutions. It notes that the costs of natural disasters are growing and most losses are uninsured, burdening public sector budgets. A range of pre-event financing options are discussed to help governments plan for disaster impacts on infrastructure, emergency response costs, revenue losses, and supporting uninsured populations. Risk transfer solutions like insurance and catastrophe bonds can help spread sovereign disaster risks across global capital markets.

The document discusses partnerships and financing for disaster risk reduction, resilience, and climate risk. It outlines five transformational approaches - generating or leveraging financial resources, realigning existing financial flows, avoiding future expenditures, enhancing effectiveness and equity of resource distribution, and focusing on financial results not just revenues. UNDP aims to bring new actors together with traditional development stakeholders around complex issues through a platform approach. Examples of partnerships discussed include working with international financial institutions, a climate change window with Russia, and a disaster preparedness program with Deutsche Post DHL.
This document discusses potential sources of financing for sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Middle-Income Europe and Central Asia. It finds that domestic public finance, particularly national budgets, are critical sources of funding. Commercial flows like foreign direct investment and bank loans also contribute significantly in some countries. However, more work is needed to systematically track how national budget expenditures align with SDGs. Official development assistance remains important for some countries highly reliant on remittances. Overall, the analysis finds that a combination of public, private and international sources will be needed to achieve the SDGs in the region.
1) A flood insurance model was developed for Georgia based on detailed flood hazard and risk modelling within an integrated flood risk management framework.
2) The model included flood mapping, calculating risk scores and potential damage/losses, and developing an index-based insurance scheme with risk-based premiums and payout principles.
3) While the insurance scheme was not piloted during the initial project due to various challenges, efforts are ongoing to address flooding and other natural hazards through policy interventions like risk financing and early warning systems.
This document discusses introducing financial instruments like flood insurance in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It provides an overview of flood risks and losses in the region. Models and tariffs for index-based and indemnity-based flood insurance schemes were developed based on flood hazard and risk maps. Buildings and agricultural areas in the Vrbas River basin were classified into risk zones that determine insurance premium rates. The project aims to implement insurance pilots and incorporate flood coverage into broader disaster insurance packages. Next steps include working with communities and establishing the necessary institutional and legal framework.
David Simmons notes that catastrophe insurance has traditionally focused on property loss but its scope is wider, such as disaster response. Existing catastrophe risk models do not account for second- and higher-order effects of critical infrastructure failures. Network analysis can help model how failures may diffuse through interconnected systems. Even with perfect models, risks may remain if key infrastructure components lie outside a country's borders.
The document discusses how analytics can support resilience. It argues analytics must quantify risks through modeling potential futures, characterize risk frequencies and impacts, and support all aspects of resilience including shocks, stresses, and strategic objectives. Analytics must be fit for purpose, simulate a full range of possibilities, and be well calibrated and validated against historical events.
Pension funds are seeking higher returns through alternative investments like real estate, commodities, and hedge funds. These alternative investments have risen to 26% of holdings for large US pension funds, up from 7% a decade ago. A 2018 survey found that 70% of institutional investors plan to increase their allocations to alternatives in 2018. Some large pension funds in the UK and Germany have already invested over $100 million in insurance-linked securities (ILS) to diversify their portfolios. ILS such as catastrophe bonds can improve portfolio risk statistics like volatility while maintaining or increasing average returns through exposure to independent risk factors globally.
This document discusses catastrophe bonds (CAT bonds) as a solution to issues with natural disaster insurance. It provides examples of government entities that have used CAT bonds and outlines the basic structure of CAT bonds. Key legal issues for CAT bonds include determining the appropriate jurisdiction based on regulatory frameworks and structures available. Triggers that determine bond payouts must be modellable, definite, and objective like parametric triggers that are based on measurable parameters like windspeed.
This document summarizes a $500 million catastrophe bond issued by FloodSmart Re Ltd. to provide reinsurance to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) it administers. The bond has an indemnity trigger and covers flood losses from named storms over a three year period in the United States. Payouts are determined based on actual flood losses to the NFIP as assessed by modeling firm KatRisk. This represents the largest catastrophe bond ever issued to provide reinsurance to a government entity for flood risk.
This document summarizes lessons learned from weather index-based crop insurance programs. It discusses the promises of index-based insurance including reduced moral hazard and adverse selection compared to conventional insurance. Experience from a program in the Philippines is described, covering over 2,500 farmers for excess rainfall. Issues with indexing accuracy and technical challenges are outlined. Lessons are provided around scaling up programs including addressing subsidy policies, weaknesses of index-based insurance, and tracking poverty reduction impacts. Upcoming work in Burkina Faso aims to bundle insurance with financial products and resilient agricultural practices.
The document discusses various catastrophe insurance programs that provide coverage for climate risks. It describes programs like the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF) and African Risk Capacity (ARC), which allow countries to pool risks and receive payouts quickly after qualifying disasters. It also discusses opportunities to develop disaster risk insurance programs for cities, the poor, and incentivize risk-reducing behavior through insurance.
This document summarizes various sovereign and public-private natural catastrophe (NatCat) risk transfer schemes from around the world. It then shows that the global uninsured losses from NatCat events in 2017 were around 69% of overall losses, demonstrating a large protection gap. Finally, it outlines Munich Re's vision to offer the right risk transfer solution for clients' needs, whether through traditional reinsurance, parametric insurance, or catastrophe bonds, depending on the perils and terms required.
This document summarizes examples of innovative public sector risk transfer solutions using insurance markets from around the world. It then discusses two case studies in more detail: a $1.36 billion catastrophe bond that transferred earthquake risk for Mexico, Chile, Peru and Colombia through a World Bank platform, and a $425 million pandemic insurance facility covering outbreaks in poor countries that was the first to insure against response costs to pandemics.
Parametric insurance provides a key tool for disaster risk financing in regions impacted by climate change. It uses independent weather or other parameters to automatically trigger payouts, allowing for fast compensation without claims handling. This makes it well-suited for providing rapid liquidity to governments after disasters. Case studies show parametric insurance lowering costs through risk pooling and providing millions in payouts through facilities like CCRIF and coverage for the Philippines. It can help cover major disasters while traditional insurance and other methods address smaller, more frequent events.
This document discusses catastrophe bonds as a "win-win" solution for governments and investors. Catastrophe bonds allow governments to access capital rapidly after natural disasters to fund relief and reconstruction. The bond principal is returned unless a triggering event, such as an earthquake above a specific magnitude, occurs. This transfers some disaster risk from governments to investors. The document outlines the advantages for both parties and provides examples of catastrophe bond structures and pricing. It promotes catastrophe bonds as an attractive asset class for investors seeking diversification and argues they are an effective risk mitigation tool for governments facing climate change risks.
This document discusses the international market for insuring against natural disasters through catastrophe bonds and collateralized reinsurance. It provides an overview of trends in the market, including strong growth in collateralized reinsurance deals. The document also discusses how parametric disaster finance instruments could help governments access quick funds after a natural disaster through catastrophe bonds tied to geophysical indices. Examples of existing disaster finance programs in Mexico and proposals for one in Romania are outlined.

Editor's Notes
The new US Administration has indicated a sharp turn in the position of the US on climate change. This followed by active engagement of the US delegation in the international negotiations and by a number of domestic legislative initiatives that give indication of the international commitment that US could be prepared to undertake post-2012. The American Clean Energy Security Act (ACESA), introduced by U.S. Representatives Henry Waxman and Edward Markey (‘Waxman-Markey bill) passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on 26 June 2009. The act sets progressively tightening legally binding caps on the absolute GHG emissions of large US emitters, including electric power stations, manufacturing facilities, and oil refineries. These sources would be required to reduce their GHG emissions 17% below 2005 levels (equivalent to roughly 4% below 1990 levels) by 2020, and 83% below 2005 levels (equivalent to roughly 80% below 1990 levels) by 2050. The bill also establishes a cap-and-trade system; allowances are bankable; and the number of allowances issued annually will be reduced steeply from 2012 to 2050. The bill also makes provisions for the international offsets, which will trade at 1:1 through 2016, but starting in 2017 emitters must tender 5 international offsets for every 4 tons of U.S. compliance. The bill establishes four mechanisms for international offsets: -Allowance trading, for nations with comparable cap-and-trade programs. -Forest credits. US may enter into agreements with countries on reducing emissions from deforestation (REDD). To be eligible for offset crediting, countries will have to demonstrate, beginning five years from the start of the program (extendable eight more years in the case of small-emitting and least developed countries), reductions in total emissions from deforestation nation-wide, or in their large-emitting states or provinces, from a baseline that results in zero net deforestation within 20 years. The bill sets aside 5% of the U.S. allowance for assistance to tropical forest countries in preparing to participate in this program. -Sectoral credits. The EPA will prepare a sectoral crediting list – a list of nations with high GHG emissions or comparatively high levels of income, and of sectors whose emissions would be capped if they were in the U.S. For listed nations and sectors, credits can only be issued to those nations/sectors that adopt domestically enforceable sectoral baselines of absolute emissions set at levels that are below business as usual and are consistent with two degrees Celsius or 450 ppm goal, and then achieve absolute reductions from those baselines. Nations and sectors on the list that adopt no-lose sectoral intensity targets will not be able to sell offsets into the U.S. market. -Project credits. The bill authorizes the EPA Administrator to issue offset credits for reductions from projects in nations that have not capped emissions, if the reductions are recognized by a body established under the UNFCCC that provides assurances of integrity equal to or greater than the U.S. domestic offset program. Starting in 2016, the EPA may not issue project credits for projects in countries or sectors on the sectoral crediting list. Therefore, a clear signal is given that US would likely accept CERs produced in less developed countries under the CDM and would only consider crediting sectoral and national programmes in more advanced developing countries as of 2016. The bill now will be considered by the Senate and may undergo further changes in the process.
Under the regional project “Supporting RBEC transition to low-emission development” UNDP initiate work in Kazakhstan, Moldova and Turkey, for the next year we shall continue in those countries and add more, like Georgia, Croatia, may be Uzbekistan and upon request others. Fund rising is needed, the COs have to work with the governments and to devote resources as well. Cooperation with EC is encouraged.
Further improvements of the CDM: governance of the Executive Board; accreditation procedures; baseline and monitoring methodologies and additionality; standardized baselines; issuance of CERs;
Adaptation Committee was established - technical support and guidance, strengthen and consolidate relevant information, promote synergies and strengthening engagement with national, regional and international organizations, centres and networks. It will also serve as a “match-maker” for funding by providing information and recommendations.
The financial mechanism of the UNFCCC will be substantially changed by the Cancun AgreementThe GCF will be designed and set up by a transitional committee of 40 members ( Relevant UN Agencies, IFIs, MDBs, the UNFCCC Secretariat and GEF Secretariat are all invited to second staff to support the transitional committee)
