Description
The operation consists in a junior participation in the BlueOrchard InsuResilience Fund II on behalf of the Luxembourg-EIB Climate Finance Platform (LCFP). The Fund targets climate change adaptation and resilience through innovative and high-growth companies operating in the insurance industry.
Objectives
The aim is to improve the resilience of poor and vulnerable households, as well as micro, small and medium enterprises to weather events and natural catastrophes. To that end, the Fund will provide financing to portfolio companies that are active or seeking to become active in the value chain for insurance, enhancing the final beneficiaries' resilience to the aforementioned disasters. The portfolio companies need to be based or operating in countries which are eligible to receive Official development assistance (ODA) and which are listed at the time of the respective investment in the OECD Development Assistance Committee list of ODA recipients.
