Abstract: During the past couple of months, the pandemic situation raised the need for assessment of the impact on derivatives, particularly weather and freight derivatives, as an innovative financial product. There are several issues and challenges faced by weather and freight derivatives in the financial market. This chapter aims to appreciate innovative financial derivatives and also address issues relating to the functioning of weather and freight derivatives. We have also examined the pricing models of weather derivatives across the globe. In addition, we examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic situation on weather derivatives.
