Our two guests and their respective organizations cooperate to provide climate risk insurance for developing countries. Dr. Helke Waelde is a senior sector economist at the KfW Development Bank, and Dr. Daniela Zimmermann is senior manager for regulatory affairs at the reinsurance company Hannover Re.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang= "EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" xml:lang="EN-US">In cooperation on climate risk solutions such as the Natural Disaster Fund (NDF), insurance policies are provided which lead to a quick payout to beneficiaries in developing countries in case of an extreme weather event. So-called parametric insurance solutions are geared towards providing quick liquidity when a pre-determined extreme weather event occurs. They thereby put the policyholders, for example governments of developing countries, in a position to provide quick relief to affected populations.<span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "text-align: justify;
