The Parametric Insurance and Trust Fund for Paramos, currently under Lab acceleration as part of the 2025 class, was featured in El País as an innovative solution for climate adaptation in Colombia.

Developed by Strata Advisors, this early-response insurance mechanism uses real-time climate data to trigger immediate payouts for firefighting and ecosystem restoration when extreme conditions are detected. It provides rapid funding for local responders, offering a scalable model for climate adaptation and ecosystem protection across Latin America.

While still in the pilot phase, the instrument represents a major step forward in designing early-response tools that channel funding directly to frontline communities, improve coordination across institutions, and help safeguard fragile ecosystems in the face of rising climate risks.
