Resilience has multiple meanings. Within BRACED, it is
understood to be the ‘ability to anticipate, avoid, plan for,
cope with, recover from and adapt to (climate related) shocks
and stresses’ (DFID, 2014a). The father of resilience thinking,
C.S. Holling, understood it to be ‘the persistence of relationships
within a system; a measure of the ability of systems to absorb
changes of state variables, driving variables, and parameters,
and still persist’ (Holling, 1973).
And within the UN system it
is thought of as ‘the capacity of a system, community or society
potentially exposed to hazards to adapt, by resisting or changing,
in order to reach and maintain an acceptable level of functioning
and structure’ (UNISDR, 2005).

3.1 Adaptive capacity
Adaptive capacity is the ability of social systems to adapt
to multiple, long-term and future climate change risks, and
also to learn and adjust after a disaster. It is the capacity to take
deliberate and planned decisions to achieve a desired state even
when conditions have changed or are about to change. This
includes the ability to ‘react to evolving hazards and stresses
[well in advance] so as to reduce the likelihood of the occurrence
and/or the magnitude of harmful outcomes resulting from
climate-related hazards’ (Malone, 2009: 6). Adaptive capacity
also includes the ability to take advantage of a disturbance and
to ‘build or bounce back better’ (Manyena et al., 2011), as well
as learning from the legacy of recurring shocks and stresses.
This ability to recover in such a way as to reduce vulnerability
to future events is vital to the notion of adaptive capacity.
Without it, communities often get stuck in risk traps and
recurring cycles of vulnerability (Becchetti and Castriota, 2011).
6.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
3.2 Anticipatory capacity
Anticipatory capacity is the ability of social systems to anticipate
and reduce the impact of climate variability and extremes
through preparedness and planning. Anticipatory capacity is seen
in proactive action before a foreseen event to avoid upheaval,
either by avoiding or reducing exposure or by minimising
vulnerability to specific hazards (Kellett and Peters, 2014).
This is in contrast with the more ‘reactive’ actions that take place
after a disturbance has been felt (assuming the community in
question has not been overwhelmed to the point of collapse)
(Levine et al., 2011).
7.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
3.3 Absorptive capacity
The ability of social systems to absorb and cope with the impacts
of climate variability and extremes is known as ‘absorptive
capacity’. It refers to the ability of social systems, using available
skills and resources, to face and manage adverse conditions,
emergencies or disasters (Hudner and Kurtz, 2002). While
anticipatory capacity comes into play before a shock or stress,
absorptive capacity is exercised during and after a disturbance
has occurred to reduce the immediate impact on people’s
livelihoods and basic needs. In conceptual terms, it is concerned
principally with ‘functional persistence’ – that is, the ability
of a system to buffer, bear and endure the impacts of climate
extremes in the short term and avoid collapse (death, debilitation
and destruction of livelihoods) (Blaikie et al., 2003; Folke et al.,
2010, Bene, 2012). In practical terms, this is most visible in the
form of coping with the impacts of a disaster.

Traditional disaster response operates on a
reactive cycle—relying on emergency aid and ad-
hoc government budget reallocations after a
crisis strikes. In contrast, Climate and Disaster
Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) is a
proactive system that uses pre-arranged financial
tools, such as parametric insurance, to release
funds instantly based on measurable triggers.

What are the different CDRFI instruments?
https://www.adaptationcommunity.net/climate-disaster-risk-finance-insurance/
Examples of relevant CDRFI instruments include a wide range of insurance schemes, bonds
for which repayment can be reduced or suspended in a disaster situation (catastrophe
bonds) or pre-arranged loans from multilateral development banks with more favourable
conditions than ad-hoc loans (contingent credit), among others. Pre-arranged finance
therefore provides not only quick liquidity which increases response preparedness and
hence indirectly contributes to risk reduction efforts, but also enables governments to
estimate potential disaster-related expenditures more accurately. This predictability allows
for better allocation of resources and improved long-term budget planning, as governments
can allocate funds for disaster response and recovery in advance.
To ensure adequate and rapid access to financial resources in the event of a disaster, it is
crucial to establish CDRFI instruments beforehand. These financial instruments operate at
different levels, including micro, meso, and macro.
The following section provides a short overview with two tangible examples of climate risk
insurance as a micro instrument and contingency credit as a macro instrument.

Overview of CDRFI instruments
Based on country-specific needs, the Global Shield is able to
support:
i) CDRFI instruments designed to provide rapid financial
assistance to households and businesses to act early
against and respond to climate and disaster-related losses.
ii) Pre-arranged finance for governments, humanitarian
agencies, and international and local non-governmental
organisations (NGOs) for disaster preparedness and rapid
response.
https://www.globalshield.org/instruments-offer-financial-tools/
14.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
Micro, meso and macro level instruments
At the household and business level (meso and micro), these instruments
comprise livelihood protection, social protection systems, livestock and
crop insurance, property insurance, business interruption insurance,
risk-sharing networks, and credit guarantees.
At the level of (national and subnational) governments, humanitarian
agencies and Civil Society Organisations (macro), the Global Shield
supports the integrated development of instruments used to ensure that
money is available when needed (money-in), and the processes to
ensure that the money is spent on providing what affected individuals
and communities need when they need it most (money-out).
https://www.globalshield.org/instruments-offer-financial-tools/

Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
Money-in and Money-out
Money-in: risk transfer products (e.g. insurance via
regional risk pools and development insurers), contingent
credit and grant mechanisms, contingency funds, pre-
arranged finance (incl. forecast-based), or financial
market instruments such as catastrophe bonds, etc.
Money-out: shock-responsive social protection, early and
anticipatory action protocols, contingency plans (incl. for
restoring critical infrastructure), cash transfers, etc.

Risk layering and disaster risk financing strategy. (Source: Ghesquiere and Mahul (2010))
19.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
The risk layering approach
The risk layering approach is a strategic
framework that categorizes potential risks (such
as financial, operational, or climate-related
disasters) into different tiers based on their
severity and frequency. It pairs each tier with
the most cost-effective financial instrument or
management tool
20.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
Risk retention, external risk finance, and risk
transfer are the three core strategies that
organizations use to manage and absorb the
financial impacts of unforeseen events.
Balancing these three methods—often referred
to as risk layering—ensures that an
organization stays financially stable without
overpaying for protection.

Catastrophe (Cat) Bonds and Catastrophe Deferred
Drawdown Options (Cat DDOs) are both disaster
risk financing instruments, but they serve
different roles in financial planning. Cat bonds
are used to transfer high-severity catastrophe risk
to global capital markets, while Cat DDOs are
contingent lines of credit used to provide
immediate, short-term liquidity following a crisis. [
1, 2, 3]
23.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown (Cat DDO) At a Glance
• A contingent financing line that provides immediate liquidity
following a natural disaster, and/or health-related event
• Funds become available for disbursement after the
drawdown trigger – typically the member country’s
declaration of a state of emergency – is met
• At approval a country must have an adequate
macroeconomic policy framework and a satisfactory
disaster risk management program in place (or under
preparation), which the Bank will monitor periodically
24.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
Catastrophe Bonds
Catastrophe bonds (cat bonds) are specialized, high-yield
debt instruments that allow insurance companies,
reinsurers, and governments to transfer natural
disaster risk to capital market investors. If a specified
disaster occurs, the issuer keeps the bond’s principal
to pay claims; if it does not, investors receive their
principal plus high interest.

Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
Sovereign catastrophe bonds provide ex-ante
financial protection for governments and are
gaining interest as a risk management
instrument, particularly in developing countries,
to provide coverage to specific high severity, low
frequency events.

CDRFI action
Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI)
action is structured into a five-phase risk-layering framework:
1. Prevention,
2. Risk Retention/Transfer,
3. Preparedness,
4. Emergency Response, and
5. Resilient Recovery.
These stages involve designing financial tools to avoid, absorb,
and recover from climate impacts while minimizing overall
loss and damage

For lower levels of risk, risk retention is preferred as
the opportunity costs of keeping those resources
for disaster response don’t exceed the costs. When
the severity is higher, and hence the financial cost
increases, the opportunity cost becomes larger and
it makes sense to use a combination of financial
instruments. Risk transfer solutions are better
catered for low frequency – high severity events, in
which more resources are required.

Financial Impact Devastating to local/national economies and public
debt.
Safeguards national budgets and absorbs
macro-level economic shocks.

Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
Types of Policy Triggers
Understanding the trigger mechanism is essential for estimating recovery speed
and coverage adequacy:
Parametric Triggers: Payouts are made the moment an objective parameter
is met or exceeded (e.g., wind speeds over 150 km/h in a hurricane, rainfall
deficits below a certain threshold during a drought, or peak ground
acceleration during an earthquake). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Forecast-based /
Anticipatory Triggers: Used in anticipatory action policies, these disburse
funds before a disaster strikes based on advanced weather forecasting
models (e.g., paying out to buy seeds when models show a high probability of
seasonal crop failure). [1, 2]
Indemnity Triggers: Traditional triggers that require an adjuster to measure
the actual physical damage or financial loss incurred by the policyholder
before releasing funds.
33.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
CDRFI (Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and
Insurance) triggers are objective, pre-defined
thresholds (e.g., rainfall amounts, wind speeds)
that automatically release funds or payouts for
emergency response without requiring lengthy
damage assessments. [1, 2, 3, 4]

National Adaptation Plans, or NAPs.
NAPs are encompassing stakeholder processes aiming to tackle the effects of climate change. This means they affect
all sectors in societies and economies. Therefore, the views of as many stakeholders as possible should be taken
into account. NAPs are strategic and iterative processes in which learning is an essential part. And lastly, since
NAPs aim at tackling the effects of climate change, they build from risk assessments and climate models.
As we will see later with more detail, NAPs implementation enabling factors are capacity development, financing,
appropriate institutional arrangements for adaptation, and information sharing.
We highlight the main results from a report by the NAP Global Network and the InsuResilience Global Partnership,
which analysed the presence of CDRFI in existing NAPs. Disaster costs are considered a key factor for climate
adaptation, although not as much as one may have expected. Most NAPs consider adaptation and DRM jointly,
and almost all see insurance as an adaptation tool, yet less than half consider social protection as a tool or
perceive the insurance sector as an adaptation partner. Another interesting aspect of the analysis is that a majority
of NAPs mentioned the need to strengthen data management as a strategic priority to improve their decision-
making.
38.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
What are NAPs?
Strategic, government-led process which enables countries to identify and address their medium- and long-term
priorities for adapting to climate change
Facilitating the integration of climate change adaptation, in a coherent manner, into relevant new and existing
policies, programs and activities within all relevant sectors and at different levels
Objectives: to reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, by building adaptive capacity and resilience
NAPs build on analysis of current and future impacts of climate change, as well as assessing the vulnerability to these
impacts
The NAP process is an iterative adaptation policy cycle. It usually is considered to have four steps: assessment,
planning, implementation, and M&E.
The NAP process however is often also split into smaller steps or structured along the four elements proposed in the
LEG's NAP technical guidelines (A: Lay the groundwork and address gaps; B: Preparatory elements; C:
Implementation strategies; D: Reporting, monitoring, and review).
Enabled by capacity development, financing, appropriate institutional arrangements for adaptation, and sharing
of information across sectors, levels, and different types of actors
Alignment with other relevant documents and processes such as NDCs, SDGs or the Sendai Framework for DRR
As of 9 January 2024(opens in a new tab), 53 developing countries and one developed country have submitted their
first NAPs to the UNFCCC. There are also some sectoral NAPs(opens in a new tab) submissions. More than 100
countries had submitted proposals to fund the NAP development process.

Different entry points or overlaps linking NAP processes and enabling factors with CDRFI.
Financing
For financing, CDRFI plays a catalytic role. As we know, adaptation investments are risky ventures, and linking them to
CDRFI instruments can help mobilizing investments in green and resilient infrastructure, businesses or private
credit by transferring this risk to financial markets. Moreover, CDRFI itself is a rather undesirable form of
adaptation, undesirable because it addresses losses and damages, but anyhow it provides monetary resources to
cover that adaptation aspect.
Institutional Arrangements
In relation to institutional setups, due to their financial resources, skills in analytics and risk prevention and linkages to
the firms and families, insurance sector actors could be relevant players in national adaptation processes.
Information Sharing
Another factor is knowledge sharing, current CDRFI initiatives, such as the InsuResilience Global Partnership or the
Financial Protection Forum by the World Bank, are championing climate risk knowledge management or training
initiatives that can empower national adaptation actors.
Capacity Development
Finally, in capacity building, CDRFI related initiatives in open modelling and data or public good investments are
expanding capacities and providing access to actors involved in national adaptation processes. This will certainly
lead to improved decision-making beyond the CDRFI space.
.
40.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
Different entry points or overlaps linking NAP processes and enabling factors with CDRFI.
Planning
In the planning phase, risk assessments enable the identification of adaptation gaps, and certain analytical tools can
compare the cost-effectiveness of various options or a combination of them, improving decision-making.
Implementation
At the implementation level, once a concrete adaptation need is identified and a CDRFI solution is in place, this should
be linked to a disbursing mechanism implementing the adaptation solutions. As we already know, CDRFI can be
deployed at the macro, meso and micro levels. CDRFI will be effective only when implemented in combination
with other adaptation measures that address the lower risk layers, meaning the more frequent and less severe
hazards.
Monitoring & Evaluation
At the monitoring and evaluation level, adaptation programmes have at least basic M&E systems to track progress and
assess effectiveness. In this case, CDRFI can piggyback these M&E systems for its own benefit, to verify the
impact of payouts or to evaluate if CDRFI instruments have had positive spillover effects on other adaptation
measures.
41.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
National DRM Institutional Frameworks
Because it entails a great degree of intraministerial cooperation, disaster risk
management at the national level is a complex process. Key to success is a clear
allocation of roles at all governance levels, with accountability mechanisms and
the participation of actors exposed to risk.
The objective is the mainstreaming of risk management, up from government strategies
down to daily operations, and also, a better coordination in emergency management.
To succeed a great deal of leadership and commitment is required, which can be
spurred by generalized population engagement. Post-disaster periods are usually
conducive for initiating reforms, yet sustainability of the system depends on long-term
incentives such as risk understanding and ownership, and ultimately aligning
disaster risk management approaches with positive economic incentives, such
as sectoral development or job creation.
42.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
National DRM Institutional Frameworks
There is not a unique and ideal institutional set up, as the figure shows,
whatever works will depend on the political economy and the overall
governance quality of a country. Yet, common to all set ups is the
existence of a dedicated authority with strong legitimacy and executive
power, some degree of the decentralization to the local level, with the
corresponding resource allocation and adequate coordination mechanisms,
such as information sharing platforms or coordination entities.
Eventually, effective mainstreaming requires implementing risk management in
the different economic sectors, so specialized units in risk management
could be required at the line ministry level.
43.
Mengol Training andConsultancy Services
Various institutional arrangements are feasible depending on country
governance preferences:
A dedicated authority with strong legitimacy and executive power is
needed
Most important are information sharing, coordination and enforcement
mechanisms
Risk is experienced at the local level → context-specific and effective
decision-making and implementation throughout the ICRM cycle
Decision-making must be matched with adequate funding
Risk is a cross-cutting phenomenon: DRM strategies need to be embedded in
sectoral planning rather than developed in a silo
E.g. planning related to informal settlements, land use, or natural resource
management

From risk assessments to Building Back Better
Risk assessments provide baseline information for developing prevention and
contingency plans, these should be based both on scientific and traditional forms of
knowledge.
Contingency plans detail procedures, roles and responsibilities for various actors
involved in hazard response with the objective of providing a timely and targeted
response that minimizes the negative impacts, as well as facilitating the recovery
process
Local level plans should be developed by local actors following National Disaster
Management Authorities guidelines and validation.

Relief and recovery programs delivering support to affected people. Delivery is
more effective when using previously existing structures that can be easily

–
Prime Minister / Minister / or other relevant authority : He/ She bears political responsibility in last instance for the

NDRMA: Responsible for DRM activities in line with government policy, legislative requirements and the strategic
priorities. It ensures the correct functioning on an operational basis, as well as facilitates linkages in the system.
While not implementing directly all activities, it should have a good overview of frontline DRM activities.
Disaster Committee: Multidisciplinary and cross-sectional task force having regular meetings to evaluate the progress
in the implementation of DRM strategies. During crises, this group manages and coordinates responses. The
group is usually formed by line Ministry staff, but also by other relevant actors in different sectors (representatives
from NGOs, private sector or security forces).
Sub-national and local governments: Adapting DRM plans to their respective levels in accordance with superior
frameworks. They have critical role in enabling community-based DRM. In countries with higher decentralization
or for minor emergencies they may lead response operations together with NDRMA.

CDRFI supporting roles in Disaster Risk Management policy frameworks at the national level.
1. Prevention-Firstly, At the prevention level, CDRFI risk assessments allow risk pricing,
fostering risk ownership and eventually allowing governments to implement effective
risk mitigation measures, which will lower the cost of CDRFI instruments.
2. Risk retention and transfer-In the risk retention and transfer phase, governments
determine the mix of financial instruments to address various risk layers.
3. Preparedness-In the preparedness phase, linking CDRFI to early warning system
and contingency plans can help to anticipate and address the early effects of
disasters.
4. Response-In the response phase, predictable funding streams through CDRFI
strengthen designated institutions for disaster response.
5. Recovery-Lastly, CDRFI payouts linked to social protection can help building the
resilience of the poor and vulnerable in the long-term, and the application of build-
back-better principles can lead to lowering the cost of accessing CDRFI instruments
in the future.

Disaster Resilient and Responsive Public Financial Management (DRR-
PFM)
The DRR-PFM (Disaster Resilient and Responsive Public Financial Management) agenda is a global
framework developed by institutions like the World Bank to integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR)
and climate adaptation into a country's core financial systems. Its goal is to ensure governments
can proactively fund resilience and rapidly, yet transparently, respond to disasters without
compromising financial stability.
Climate impacts and their costs strain national budgets threatening fiscal stability in already
vulnerable countries
Emergency response requires more flexible and quicker approaches in budgeting procedures
Financial management must be linked and harmonized with DRM procedures and structures
Financial management and DRM rely on synergistic sub-processes that can improve both (e.g.
