This report includes 'think pieces' which are succinct, policy-relevant opinion pieces and where authors advocate for a particular position or objectively describe the issue/challenges and possible opportunities, options and solutions on linking anticipatory action to risk financing.

The authors highlight the need to:

• Break silos, and work across sectors and organizations to advance the application of Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) instruments to Anticipatory Action (AA);
• Combine different instruments of AA and CDRFI through a layered approach so that the right funds are readily available in the right places, at the right time, for the different stages, severity and frequency of disasters;
• Make greater use of the resources and capabilities of the private sector to scale up disaster risk financing and AA.
