Global Parametrics Annual Impact Report 2022
At Global Parametrics, impact is at the heart of everything we do. It guides our mission and vision of a world which is thriving and resilient to extreme weather and natural hazards.
We are delighted to release our 2022 Annual Impact Report, showcasing the incredible progress made toward these ambitions. 2022 marked the sixth year of our continued efforts to close the global protection gap, and with thanks to collaborations with partners long-standing and new, we were able to multiply our impact.
Highlights include:
- 23+ million beneficiaries provided with risk protection;
- Protection across 55 low- and middle-income countries;
- Coverage for 6 perils, including: earthquake, flood, tropical cyclone, excess rain, drought and excess wind.
As the nature of climate and disaster risk faced by communities around the world continues to change and intensify, we are encouraged by the progress made in 2022 as a significant foundation to build far greater resilience for those who need it most in the year to come.
Please read our Global Annual Impact Report 2022 here to learn more about our work.
With special thanks to our Natural Disaster Fund partners, the German Government’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), KfW, UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and Hannover Re.
