This webinar presents the results of the PIISA agricultural pilot on the co-development of an index-based insurance solution for olive farmers in Andalucía in Southern Spain. The pilot combined farmer surveys, participatory workshops with ASAJA-Jaén, historical climate analysis and the CoDepi co-design tool to identify climate risk thresholds and design a potential index-based insurance concept.
