There is a shortage of #climate and disaster risk information - but the #reinsurance industry could help overcome this problem by opening up access to #risk models and datasets. The @insdevforum #RMSG has issued a CTA via Global (Re)Insurance here: globalreinsurance.com/home/idf-enhan…

There is a #data and analytics portal covering hazards, exposure, vulnerability and risk to infrastructure and people around the world that is free to access - the GRI Risk Viewer is available via the Resilient Planet Data Hub: resilient-planet-data.org

Partnerships are key to improving global #resilience and to address the #ProtectionGap . Our recent workshop series with A2ii_org is just one great example of seeing this vision in action. For more information & to download the presentations please visit: insdevforum.org/knowledge/idf-…
