Description :

Despite escalating climate risks, fewer than 4 in 10 companies worldwide have formal Adaptation & Resilience (A&R) strategies1, while a critical US$0.5-1.3t annual financing need persists2. This session explores how businesses can move beyond risk mitigation to harness A&R as a driver of long-term value and opportunity. By reframing A&R as both risk management and value creation, the discussion will surface pathways for mobilising capital and building resilience in a climate-impacted world.
