This quarter’s edition invites you to our key event of the year taking place on 23 October 2024, the HFF Innovative Finance Side Event at AidEx, which will be held in Geneva with an option to participate virtually. We also provide insights into how the insurance industry can address the humanitarian crisis caused by climate change, developing innovative financial tools that safeguard vulnerable populations.   In June, the Grand Bargain Strategic Dialogue on Innovative Financing convened to take stock of the potential and challenges of scaling up innovative finance in the humanitarian sector, and in August after hurricane Beryl, Grenada suspended its bond payments by triggering its ‘hurricane clause’. Then, in September the IFRC triggered its first-ever insurance payout for its disaster fund, which means for the first time, a single, global commercial indemnity insurance policy is covering the emergency humanitarian costs of a disaster. Indeed, innovative finance mechanisms are demonstrating its effectiveness in supporting humanitarian needs.  Coming up are two exciting opportunities to continue exploring and implementing innovative financial solutions. Consider signing up for the IMD Driving Innovative Finance for Impact (DIFI) programme, and to partner with us as we co-host the Humanitarian Finance Summit with AidEx next Spring.
