Deep dive: Insurance & risk transfer — a buyer's guide: how to evaluate solutions (Angle 6)

For sustainability leads in the United States looking to incorporate insurance and risk‑transfer into climate resilience plans, this guide offers a structured approach to evaluating solutions. It explains what parametric and micro‑insurance products are, why they are increasingly critical as climate risks mount, and how emerging standards and procurement guidelines shape buyer requirements. The article compares the fastest‑moving subsegments, from smallholder micro‑insurance and municipal parametric policies to regional risk pools and hybrid indemnity‑parametric covers, and highlights what works and where challenges remain. Finally, it provides a practical framework for evaluating insurance offerings and a next‑steps checklist to help organisations move from concept to adoption.
