The Challenge

3 • 3/21/11

The concentration of GHGs is rising

Long-term implications

for the climate and for crop suitability

4 • 3/21/11

Average projected % change in suitability for 50 crops, to 2050

60-70% more food

by 2050.

Food security is at risk

6 • 3/21/11

“Unchecked climate change will result in a

20% increase in malnourished children by 2050,” relative to the full

mitigation scenario.

-Gerald Nelson, IFPRI/CCAFS

• Knowledge and tools for targeting, implementing, and evaluating index insurance• Using crop yield predictions to develop robust indices with low basis risk

What CCAFS outputs?

Basing payouts on an objectively-measured index avoids the high cost of verifying losses and overcomes the problems of moral hazard, adverse selection and. Farmers’ assets are protected from climate shocks.

Why is it useful?

In indexed insurance schemes, payouts are based on a meteorological index (e.g., rainfall) correlated with agricultural losses, rather than on observed losses.
