Climate Adaptation & Resilience: From Risk to Investment Opportunity

Wildfire and record heatwaves have reinforced for investors the need for climate adaptation and resilience investment. Agricultural losses, energy and infrastructure damage, supply chain disruption all impact the real economy. And inevitable climate risk also creates increasing demand for technologies, solutions, investments that can safeguard and even create competitive advantage in the face of climate change. 

This session will examine the underinvested yet unavoidable opportunity of adaptation and resilience investment from the perspective of an investor asset owner, an insurer, and other experts. The goal is a radically pragmatic discussion of practical examples of resilience investments, what is working today, and where investment strategies can go next.
