This session explores how climate adaptation is emerging as a critical frontier for investment and economic resilience. As climate impacts intensify and losses continue to rise across major markets, the financial case for adaptation is becoming increasingly compelling. The discussion examines how adaptation is moving from a policy objective to an investable asset class, while highlighting the persistent gap between current capital flows and actual needs. Speakers focus on how financial institutions are beginning to price physical climate risk into assets, credit, and insurance, the role of emerging instruments such as adaptation bonds and resilience credits in mobilizing institutional capital, and how the global financial system can scale sustainable adaptation finance without increasing debt burdens in vulnerable economies.
CPI’s Global Managing Director, Barbara Buchner, will speak on this webinar with speakers: Emiliya Mychasuk, Climate Editor, Financial Times, Andrew Johnstone, Chief Executive Officer, Climate Fund Managers BV, Andrew Steer, Professor in Practice, London School of Economics, and Marianne Kleiberg, Regional Managing Director, The Nature Conservancy.
