Catastrophe and Climate Resilience Bond Dashboard

Catastrophe and climate resilience bonds have become critical tools for transferring disaster risk and financing adaptation in an era of intensifying climate hazards. As the frequency and severity of climate-related disasters increase, investors and insurers are using catastrophe bonds and resilience-linked securities to manage exposure and support systemic resilience. The scale and allocation of these bonds reflect how financial markets are pricing in the costs of climate risk and the value of proactive adaptation. Regions with higher exposure to climate perils and lower adaptive capacity tend to see greater issuance and innovation in risk transfer instruments, underscoring the financial materiality of climate resilience.

Catastrophe Bond Issuance by Region (2025, USD billions)

This bar chart displays the annual issuance of catastrophe bonds across major regions. North America continues to dominate the market, driven by persistent hurricane and wildfire risk, while Europe and Asia-Pacific are experiencing rapid growth in bond issuance for flood and typhoon coverage. Latin America and Africa, though smaller in volume, are leveraging these instruments for earthquake and drought resilience. The chart illustrates how regions most exposed to climate and natural disaster risk are leading in the adoption of risk transfer solutions, signaling investor recognition of the need for adaptation finance.

Climate Resilience Bond Proceeds by Sector (2025, % total)

This bar chart shows the allocation of climate resilience bond proceeds by sector. Water management and resilient infrastructure account for the largest share, reflecting urgent investment needs in flood defenses and climate-proofing critical assets. Agriculture and forestry are key targets for system-focused adaptation, while energy and health sectors are emerging as important areas for resilience finance. The distribution of proceeds highlights the strategic prioritization of investments that reduce vulnerability and enhance adaptive capacity across economies.
