Loss and damage: Providing a lifeline to smallholders with climate insurance

One Acre Fund proposes a session on the climate rationale, and specific ideas built from our field work, on how insurance can be a central tool for building climate resilience for smallholder farmers (SHFs). The poorest and most climate-vulnerable farmers in the world are the least protected and the only ones who are expected to pay market rates for insurance. We see this as a persuasive equity issue, directly related to how loss & damage funds can be applied for maximum impact.
