Abstract

This paper examines the important role that can be played by sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) in financing of disaster risk management. Governments of Tuvalu and Kiribati are predicting future climate and disaster risks to impose increasing financial pressure. Having the required financial response in the aftermath of disasters, such as cyclones, is of crucial importance to these low-lying atoll nations. We examine and forecast the long-term sustainability and feasibility of SWFs to contribute into ex-post disaster risk management by employing an Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model using SWFs data and calculated likely costs for disasters by the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative (PCRAFI) as our appropriate levels of financial support for expected disasters in Tuvalu and Kiribati.
