This paper develops a theme identified in recent insurance sector development work: that more developed insurance markets are desirable as insurers play a more effective institutional investment role, whether this objective seeks deeper and more liquid bond or capital markets, or to see more investment in long term assets such as infrastructure or in support of climate finance. It explores the perspective of domestic insurers, summarizing positions regarding asset selection and key drivers of current and desired asset structures. The paper draws on interviews in several deep-dive countries supplemented by additional engagement for a more representative global reach. It then discusses a range of solutions that may be considered by policymakers categorized under efforts to: grow the sector so it can play a more substantive role; improve how assets are packaged and made available to insurance companies so they are more investable; review risk-based capital rules to ensure that they encourage and reward the right behavior; and check other regulations do not present unintended barriers. The paper concludes that, although domestic insurers are interested in making investments that meet these goals, they are constrained by barriers that are almost entirely external to their own operations and outside their control. With some adjustment to supply and regulatory settings, insurers should translate their interest into action, increasing their role and improving the contribution to this desirable development outcome. The paper is intended to be particularly relevant for policymakers and practitioners with less experience within insurance company operations who are looking to better understand and respond to insurance decision making.

This book relates to the fourth priority of the UNDRR's Sendal Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. Taking a wide understanding of disaster preparedness and building back better, the book deals with resilient responses and capacity building related to hazardous events, bringing practical experiences and theoretical insights in this regard. Mostly based on field research conducted by architects in the Global South, it covers disaster risk reduction (DRR) and post-disaster interventions as well as community resilience in development-related processes. Its three parts address the interlinkages between humanitarian architecture, community resilience, and inclusive governance, which are crucial for fostering effective disaster preparedness and building back better. Part I discusses the changing roles of architects and urban designers involved in the humanitarian sphere. Part II concentrates on humanitarian design and tackles resilience as a socioecological capacity to enhance preparedness within community-based DRR processes. Focused on global dynamics, Part III covers topics emphasizing the links between the management of crises, whether of a climatic, political, or economic origin, at different levels of governance, and the vulnerability of communities and structures at national and local scales. Thus, the book approaches rising global priorities and brings timely lessons to support (co)designing more equitable, safer, and more resilient built environments in a rapidly urbanizing world.
