IDF 2025 Annual Review

IDF today published its 2025 Annual Review. Marking 10 years of action to close global protection gaps, it issues a clear call to accelerate progress as climate shocks, fiscal pressure and systemic risk intensify worldwide.

This paper outlines the challenges and sets out a comprehensive agenda to address one of the world’s most urgent challenges: the widening divide between insured and uninsured losses from natural catastrophes, or the protection gap

This paper by the IDF-Bridgetown Initiative Partnership presents recommendations for action by Governments, MDBs, insurers and regulators to help close the disaster protection gap, mobilise capital, and shift development finance from reactive to resilient.
