Risk 21 contains 250 pages and includes about 50 papers focused on natural hazards. Risk 21 is the result of the Risk 21 Workshop, which was held in Ascona, Switzerland from 28.11.2004 - 03.12.2004.

The scope of GRF’s latest book “Microinsurance – An Innovative Tool for Risk and Disaster Management” is both to investigate the linkage between disaster risk reduction and Microinsurance and to address possible combinations of loans, savings and insurance schemes for low-income people to provide them with appropriate solutions for at least a partial risk reduction.

The book provides an overview on the status and strategies of implementation in various risk sectors (life, health and natural disaster risks), highlighting existing methods, best practices and specific case studies of Microinsurance programmes and initiatives. Particular attention is placed on Microinsurance tools that are capable of reducing the damage caused by natural disasters and unexpected hazards.

Risk Wise is a fully illustrated book in which up to 100 authors describe their work in disaster reduction at international, regional, national, municipal and local levels. Their commentaries will draw upon experiences around the world to reflect how people are living with natural and related environmental and technological risks, and how they are making their own efforts to reduce their exposure to disasters. Risk Wise was published in closed collaboration with Tudor Rose and was released at the IDRC Davos 2008 conference.
