IBISA’s portfolio currently includes a variety of climate coverage options designed to address the needs of diverse stakeholders globally.  

These range from agricultural insurance products to typhoon insurance and loan protection for financial institutions.  

Notably, IBISA has introduced a heat stress product insurance, initially for dairy farmers in India, which it is now extending to other countries like Bangladesh. 

Last month, Arbol, a US-based parametric insurtech company, raised $60m in a Series B funding round to expand the adoption of parametric insurance products and establish climate risk as a tangible, investable asset class.
