Risk pools ARC, CCRIF and PCRIC agree to partnership at COP27

Global risk pools African Risk Capacity Limited (ARC Ltd.), CCRIF SPC (formerly The Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility) and Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company (PCRIC) have agreed to a partnership at the recent COP27 climate conference.

The parties signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the sidelines of COP27 in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to formalise and establish a framework for enhanced cooperation and partnership between them.

At the signing, Isaac Anthony, CCRIF CEO said: “This is an opportunity to take risk pools to the next level so that these are not just seen as insurance or mechanisms for transferring risk, but also are viewed as tools to scale up disaster risk finance in a very significant way to enable governments to provide higher levels of financial protection for their populations, including the most vulnerable.”
