Designing the new finance architecture for adaptation and resilience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday, April 17; 11:00am – 12:30pm<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate adaptation is vastly under-financed. This poses systemic risks to economic stability, especially for the most climate-vulnerable countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The private sector can drive transformational climate resilience progress. When public finance concurrently unlocks capital markets, the positive potential for change increases dramatically. As adaptation and resilience work becomes increasingly urgent, insurers, banks, and investors worldwide are recognizing the risks of inaction as well as the emerging opportunities and benefits of adaptation and resilience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPI’s Barbara Buchner<\/a> will speak at this event, hosted by the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center<\/a>, which will consider how to put adaptation finance at the heart of the global agenda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currency Risk in Climate Finance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, April 18; 2:00-3:00pm<\/em>

Currency risks, stemming from mismatches between predominantly hard-currency financing\u2014including from MDBs\u2014and local-currency revenues, have a direct impact on the volume of and flow of climate finance in emerging markets and developing economies. In recent years, a variety of tools and instruments have been developed or proposed to facilitate local currency lending and mitigate exchange rate risks, both with and without a climate focus.

Building on CPI\u2019s forthcoming paper on currency risks, this event, hosted in partnership with the Gates Foundation, will examine currency risk solutions and local currency lending from a range of viewpoints, with a focus on how they impact or support climate-related projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
