Over time, the availability of investable bond products has expanded considerably to include bonds focused on social improvements (social impact bonds), life settlement securitization (death bonds), natural disaster risk transfer (catastrophe bonds), environmental improvements (green bonds), and collateralized bonds (covered bonds). Social impact bonds are geared toward positive social change to provide financing to programs that are otherwise ignored or underfunded. Death bonds are bonds backed by the cash flows from life insurance policies. Catastrophe bonds enable spreading the risk of natural disasters or human catastrophes to a broader investor base. Green bonds are issued to raise funds to revitalize brownfield sites or underdeveloped areas and geared toward energy efficiency and pollution control, sustainable agriculture, and clean transportation. Covered bonds are issued against a pool of assets but remain on the issuer’s balance sheet providing safety in the event of bankruptcy. This chapter briefly discusses each of these products.

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia is one of the leading university that should be responsive to environmental phenomena, especially about the earthquake disaster. Thus, developing disaster mitigation model is a very important thing to do. The purpose of this research is (1) identification of disaster risk factors, (2) classifying parameters and disaster risk indicator based on the availability of data, difficulty in obtaining data, and the accuracy of data, (3) develop alternative parameters to be used as a campus disaster mitigation model-based classification of disaster risk indicator. The method used in this research is literature study, analysis, and synthesis of theory and approach based on consideration of the expertise of the several specialist’s mitigations. The result of this study is an arrangement of the parameter for a campus with disaster mitigation hypothetical model insight which is divided into 3 parts, namely: ideal parameter consisting of 30 parameter indicators, medium parameter consisting of 27 parameter indicators, and simple parameter consisting of 22 parameter indicators.
