Embedding Risk Finance in Integrated National Financing Frameworks

This Policy Note explores how Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs) can support more resilient financing by embedding climate risk diagnostics and climate disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI) mechanisms into national financing strategies. Drawing on country experiences from the Maldives, Rwanda and Thailand, it identifies practical entry points across the four INFF building blocks — assessment and diagnostics, financing strategy, monitoring and review and governance and coordination — to help countries move from ad hoc crisis response to pre-arranged financing for resilience.

The note puts forward four key recommendations: enhanced diagnostics, diversified financing instruments, strengthened monitoring and review, and robust governance and coordination — together providing a practical framework for countries to build financing systems that are resilient to climate risk.
