This edition of the sustainable finance product series explores the evolving landscape of resilience finance and its growing role in strengthening financial preparedness against climate and disaster risks. It presents an overview of global sustainable debt market trends in H1 2026, examines key policy and regulatory developments, highlights financial instruments supporting adaptation, risk reduction, risk transfer and recovery, and features global case studies demonstrating how innovative financing structures can provide timely liquidity following climate-related shocks. The publication also explores the growing use of catastrophe bonds, parametric insurance, disaster risk financing, climate-resilient debt clauses and blended finance, highlighting the shift towards pre-arranged, rules-based financing mechanisms. Together, these insights provide a perspective on how resilience finance is evolving from largely public and post-disaster responses towards a more integrated financial architecture for managing climate and disaster risks.
