The Global Imperative for Investing in Climate Adaptation

-

Investing in climate adaptation is an increasingly urgent strategic imperative for companies and governments. Fault lines developing around the transboundary impacts of climate changes, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the overall economic toll of climate inaction will have worsening effects on peoples' health, well-being, and economic activity. Setting humanity on a more resilient and sustainable path requires greater public-private collaboration, more intentional investments and engaged investors, and innovative ideas leading to more bankable projects that manage climate and natural risks. How can companies work with governments to catalyze greater investment into climate adaptation and resilience? How can they motivate government agencies to adopt credible transition strategies? How are companies balancing short-term adaptation with longer-term decarbonization pathways? How can investors finance climate adaptation solutions and what are their roles in ensuring portfolio companies incorporate adaptation and resilience into business decisions that align with global standards?
