Understanding Risk and Finance conference
We expect about 300 attendees. Key topics to be addressed will be disaster risk assessment tools and applications, financing tools and approaches available to policy-makers, and a discussion of the opportunities and challenges associated with efforts to strengthen financial resilience against disasters in the region. The conference also aims to introduce attendees to the Understanding Risk Community of Practice, a global network of approximately 3300 members from more than 120 countries, among them members of Governments, regional institutions, the financial and insurance sector, international organizations, and academia.
