Financial tools for small scale fishers in Melanesia

About this program

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) are offering a grant of US $1,055,046 to support the development of financial tools for small-scale fishers in Fiji and Papua New Guinea, aimed at enhancing resilience to climate change impacts. This project, executed by Willis Towers Watson, focuses on providing insurance products to vulnerable coastal communities heavily reliant on oceanic and coastal fisheries, which are disproportionately affected by rising temperatures, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events. The initiative is co-financed with an additional US $7,330,578. Eligibility and application details are not specified, indicating an open call for potential collaborators or partners.
