The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential role of Index-based Disaster Insurance as a tool for climate change adaptation and social protection in developing countries. The paper will first provide an overview of recently piloted micro policies and macro policies. It will then outline several limitations of the micro approach as a tool for social protection, and move on to discuss the macro approach and its potential as a more sustainable instrument for humanitarian intervention.
