At Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, we have intensified our research and engagement in climate and disaster risk finance and insurance. We manage the InsuResilience Solutions Fund (ISF) and the Global Shield Solutions Platform (GSSP).

ISF and GSSP are innovative programmes, funded by European Governments, that are designed to support and develop financial products for climate risks that mitigate the negative effects of climate-related disasters such as droughts, heat waves and floods. Within their mandates, the programmes work closely with partners in developing countries to support detailed climate risk analysis, the development and application of financing solutions, and the dissemination of knowledge to relevant stakeholder groups. The focus of this position will be to support the conceptual design and implementation of country programmes and subsequent monitoring of activities.
