Core offering

The InsuResilience Solutions Fund (ISF) is a grant-based facility that provides co-funding of up to EUR 2.5 million and advisory services to consortia of public entities, private (re)insurance companies, and NGOs developing climate risk insurance products for vulnerable populations in developing and emerging countries. Its tiered offering covers Climate Risk Analysis, Concept Development, Product Development, and Premium Financing Support, and it hosts the Global Risk Modelling Alliance (GRMA) providing risk-analytics capability to climate-vulnerable countries.

Product overview

InsuResilience Solutions Fund (ISF) is a grant-based climate risk insurance fund managed by Frankfurt School of Finance & Management on behalf of KfW and BMZ. Rather than a unified software product, ISF operates as a portfolio of advisory and funding services: Climate Risk Analysis (impartial risk assessment), Concept Development (insurance design guidance), Product Development (co-development support), and Premium Financing Support (grant funding for market affordability). The fund also hosts the Global Risk Modelling Alliance (GRMA) programme providing risk analytics capabilities. ISF does not build its own branded insurance product but funds and advises partner organizations—including AXA Climate, Swiss Re, Munich Re, Pula, and local insurers—to develop parametric, index-based, and indemnity-based climate risk insurance products for vulnerable populations in developing countries. Access to ISF funding is through a formal Call for Proposals process, with grants of up to EUR 2.5m available to public-private-NGO partnerships.
