“Vulnerable Countries and People: How Disaster Risk Reduction and Insurance Can Help Manage the Risks of Climate Change” focuses on linking disaster risk reduction and insurance approaches. A central concern is how to make such measures accessible and affordable to vulnerable people in developing countries.

They give their own suggestions and tell their experiences regarding what should be done and which measures were really helpful.
