The Renewable Energy Insurance Training Kit prepared by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), BASE and CarbonRe, with support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) has been designed to enhance the understanding of insurers, financers and other renewable energy project sponsors, of climate change issues, renewable energy policy frameworks, insurance practices, risk management tools and approaches that can be developed for the renewable energy markets.
This training has been structured for self-educational purposes and is intended to be practical. It consists of six modules covering the key aspects of insurance for renewable energy projects, with a focus on developing countries conditions. At the end of each module, a lesson review, list of key terms, useful links and multiple choice questions have been provided.
