Financial & Credit Risk Solutions

Climate change is not only a physical threat — it is an increasingly significant financial one. Extreme weather events disrupt agricultural production, erode borrower repayment capacity, and expose financial institutions to cascading portfolio risks that traditional credit tools were never designed to absorb. Financial & Credit Risk Solutions address this gap by embedding climate intelligence directly into lending and credit protection frameworks.


These solutions are built for the institutions at the heart of agricultural finance — banks, microfinance institutions, input suppliers, development finance institutions, and agribusiness lenders — whose ability to extend credit depends on the financial resilience of climate-exposed borrowers. By linking insurance triggers to objective, independently verified weather indices, these products provide transparent and timely compensation when extreme climate events threaten loan performance at scale.


The suite encompasses two core pillars: Climate Finance Protection, which shields lender portfolios from systemic losses driven by drought or excess rainfall, and Lending Risk Protection, which reinforces agricultural credit guarantees by directly tying credit performance to measurable weather outcomes. Together, they de-risk agricultural lending, reduce barriers to credit access for farmers and agribusinesses, and enable financial institutions to grow their exposure in climate-sensitive sectors with confidence.

1. Climate Risk Insurance (CRI)

Climate Risk Insurance (CRI) is an index-based solution designed to protect financial institutions and agricultural businesses against portfolio losses caused by climate-related shocks such as droughts or excess rainfall. The product triggers payouts based on predefined weather indicators that correlate with widespread production losses among borrowers. The solution is targeted at banks, microfinance institutions, input suppliers, and agribusiness lenders that provide credit to climate-exposed sectors. By transferring climate risk away from lenders, CRI stabilizes loan portfolios, reduces default risks, and enables financial institutions to expand access to credit for farmers and agricultural enterprises.

2. Weather-Based Credit Guarantee Cover

Weather-Based Credit Guarantee Cover is designed to strengthen agricultural lending by protecting financial institutions against loan defaults caused by adverse weather conditions. The product links credit performance to objective weather indices such as rainfall or temperature anomalies that significantly impact agricultural productivity. When weather triggers indicate severe production losses, the insurance provides compensation to lenders for a portion of outstanding loans. This solution is particularly relevant for banks, agricultural lenders, and development finance institutions seeking to expand financing in climate-sensitive sectors while managing weather-related credit risks.
