Climate Resilience Forum

The FGV Climate Resilience Forum is a permanent, collaborative, and multidisciplinary platform dedicated to developing practical solutions, financial mechanisms, and governance guidelines to strengthen Brazilian municipalities’ capacity to adapt and respond to extreme weather events.

The initiative emerged directly from the discussions and debates held during London Climate Action Week and São Paulo Climate Week (SPCW) 2026, which brought together dozens of leaders and experts from the public sector, academia, the insurance industry, regulatory bodies, and multilateral banks.

The Forum is led by the Center for Climate Risk Studies, Adaptation and Mitigation (FGV Climate Risk), with support from the Brazilian Insurance Confederation (CNseg) and FGV’s Institute of Innovation in Insurance and Reinsurance (FGV IISR).

With regular meetings throughout the year, the Forum’s activities are structured around thematic panels and technical presentations, followed by open discussions among participants. Its central objective is to identify practical challenges and develop recommendations based on scientific evidence.

The knowledge generated at these meetings is consolidated into official reports outlining guidelines and recommendations to support governments, businesses, and organizations in strategic decision-making, while also guiding the insurance industry in developing products and coverage better suited to risk management.

Stay tuned: Official reports presenting the findings and technical recommendations from each edition of the Forum will be available on this page soon.
