This publication looks at strategies to assess and strengthen disaster and pandemic risk financing in Asia and the Pacific, offering a diagnostic framework to help countries reduce economic shocks and ensure the availability of post-disaster financing.

Designed as a tool kit, it considers the impacts of COVID-19, analyzes the enabling environment for disaster risk financing, and considers the role capital markets, insurance, and other risk transfer instruments can play. Providing questionnaires and resources to calculate financial protection against disasters and identify gaps, the publication shows how a layered risk strategy can help bolster financial resilience and protect development gains.
