Join us for the event “Evaluating Crop Insurance as Climate Policy.”
This webinar explores how crop insurance can help farmers manage growing climate risks, drawing on research from flood-prone communities in Odisha. It examines how insurance influences farmers’ decisions and adaptation strategies, and how formal insurance interacts with informal community support and risk-sharing networks. The discussion will highlight what these insights mean for policies that can strengthen rural resilience to climate change.
