Welcome to the United Nations
Permanent Mission of Jamaica to the United Nations
The side event focusses on how catastrophe bonds can be used by small states for disaster risk reduction and the role of international partners in supporting their preparation and issuance. This specific emphasis arises from the need for countries facing the vulnerabilities to natural disasters to provide a financial cover that does not lead to further indebtedness and increase the speed of financing post disaster. The event serves to: Identify and discuss the emerging challenges in financing for SIDS; Identify best practice in development financing for disaster risk reduction; Promote further collaboration among states and partners.
