The insurance industry and insurance regulators are increasingly recognising the importance of climate-related data in assessing and managing risks associated with climate change. In the landscape of risk management, the impact of climate change is becoming increasingly evident. The insurance industry and regulators alike are now turning their attention to a vital tool in navigating this reality—climate-related data.

Today, on International Women's Day, A2ii is launching the FeMa-Meter, a tool for collecting sex-disaggregated data across two categories: access to and use of insurance, and organisational diversity. The tool helps collect key insurance indicators and provides immediately a quick analysis. The tool is targeted at insurance supervisors and regulators, policymakers, and insurance companies.

Katherine Miles and Manoj Pandey are the authors of the recent A2ii report 'The Role of Insurance Supervisors in Boosting Women’s Access to Insurance'. The report outlines the potential of women’s insurance and the regulatory and supervisory approaches that have the potential to facilitate women's access to inclusive insurance, improving financial resilience and advancing the cause of gender equality.
