The White Paper published by the International Confederation of Agricultural Credit (CICA) in November is intended to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals for more resilient agriculture that is better protected against climate hazards.

Since its creation in 1950, the International Confederation of Agricultural Credit (CICA) has held an annual Congress, now known as the Meetings. This provides an opportunity for the leaders of the Confederation's member banking and financial institutions to present research and discuss topics of common interest.

These meetings take place on all continents in order to offer members an opening to other countries and agricultural, banking and cultural realities.

On the occasion of the 6th World Congress on Agricultural and Rural Finance, held on November 12 and 13 in New Delhi, CICA published The Agricultural Insurance White Paper, the result of 23 contributions that shed light on the challenges of agricultural insurance. Through the testimonies of various stakeholders in all regions of the world, the White Paper aims to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals, for a more resilient and better protected agriculture against climate hazards. FARM of Crédit Agricole collaborated closely on the publication, which highlights how risk management is a key condition for improving the economic, social, and environmental performance of agriculture, in the North and the South.
