Financially excluded populations have fewer mechanisms to cope with the risks of climate change and environmental degradation, exposing them to more risks.

This report shows how DFS and enabling policies can make a difference in helping the most vulnerable populations adapt to and mitigate climate risk and environmental degradation.
