vulnerable to threats from climate change. Storms, droughts,
and floods jeopardize the livelihoods of farmers, while
extreme temperatures limit the ability of workers to be
outdoors. Insurance is one tool that can help emerging

before they become disasters. Some pilot projects around the
world are showing promise in using insurance to help
emerging markets reduce the impact of climate change. |
