“Building financial resilience of African nations and communities to
climate and disaster risks”

The Understanding Risk and Finance conference represents a global
forum for policy makers and financial sector experts to discuss
effective strategies and approaches in mitigating the socio-economic,
fiscal, and financial impacts of disasters. We expect about 300
attendees. Key topics to be addressed will be disaster risk assessment
tools and applications, financing tools and approaches available to
policy-makers, and a discussion of the opportunities and challenges
associated with efforts to strengthen financial resilience against
disasters in the region. The conference also aims to introduce
attendees to the Understanding Risk Community of Practice, a global
network of approximately 3300 members from more than 120 countries,
among them members of Governments, regional institutions, the
financial and insurance sector, international organizations, and
academia.
