Sumario: There is a growing consensus that insurance, risk transfer, and sharing mechanisms have an important and growing role to play, particularly in offsetting the economic impacts associated with extreme events. What is less clear is the extent to which such instruments encourage adaptation programmes and policies that would serve to minimise future loss and damage and, hence, contribute to sustainable
development. This paper does not pretend to offer answers, but rather contributes to the emerging discussion and brings to that discussion a water lens.
