Thanks to Barbara Buchner, Global Managing Director of Climate Policy Initiative, and all the team of Arsht-Rock Resilience Center, for showing us how much we must better #highlight to #investors the real economic opportunities and benefits generated in terms of #actions and #financing for #resilience and #ClimateAdaptation. Indeed, the Global Center on Adaptation estimates that every dollar spent on resilience can yield between $2 to $10 in net #benefits. While #inaction and #underfinancing in terms of resilience and #climate adaptation, i.e. less than 5% of international financial flows and only 2% came from the private sector, could, on the other hand, pose real problems of economic stability, particularly for the most climate-vulnerable countries.

When we invest in mitigation and adaptation, the benefits are clear. The Global Commission on Adaptation estimates that each dollar spent on resilience can return $2 to $10 in net benefits. “We need to be better at measuring those [benefits] and highlighting the opportunities for investors,” explains Barbara Buchner, Global Managing Director of Climate Policy Initiative. Last month, we invited global experts to consider the way forward for adaptation finance. While they acknowledged the dangers of inaction, they also underscored the real economic opportunities that come with climate action. Watch the recording to learn how the public and private financial sectors can come together to invest in a climate resilient world. ➡ https://bit.ly/3xBCMKh
