This project aims to improve the state of coastal resilience for vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls in small island developing states (SIDS) and coastal developing countries, where the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance’s (ORRAA) financial products and projects apply. The aim of ORRAA is to foster collaboration amongst the finance and insurance sectors, governments and environmental organizations. Project activities include: (1) delivering ORRAA Innovation Challenge workshops to identify new products and projects; (2) developing a technical analysis on the incorporation of gender considerations into ocean risk projects; and (3) presenting policy recommendations on the mitigation of ocean risks for the most vulnerable communities at international forums. This project benefits the most vulnerable communities, particularly women and girls, in coastal developing countries, SIDS, and other low-lying areas.
