The CLIMER Programme is an initiative aimed at empowering young professionals from the Global South and North to become leaders in Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI). It offers comprehensive learning, global networking, and hands-on project opportunities to develop skills and knowledge in CDRFI.

The programme is open to early-career professionals ideally under 35 years old or with five years or less of work experience. Candidates should have a strong interest in creating change and making an impact in CDRFI.

The programme requires an average commitment of 1-2 hours per week. The duration and specific timeline may vary based on the learning modules, group driven projects and programme requirements.

All sessions and coursework in the CLIMER Programme are conducted online, allowing participants to engage from anywhere in the world. We are also exploring opportunities for face-to-face engagements, such as workshops or networking events, for some or all participants as the programme progresses. More details will be provided as these opportunities are confirmed.
