Mobilising capital for adaptation and resilience

To mobilise finance for adaptation and resilience — and help investors, commercial banks, and other financial institutions consider these themes in financial decision-making — we need to understand and recognise the investment potential.

For every $1 spent on adaptation this decade, an economic benefit of $12 could be generated.

The Guide for Adaptation and Resilience Finance sets out what constitutes adaptation and resilience finance. It includes a practical roadmap for financing and over 100 investable activities, including climate-resilient crops, public hospital infrastructure investment, and mangrove conservation and replanting.

It seeks to provide confidence to investors looking to allocate capital to adaptation projects, as well as to companies looking to raise capital for adaptation and resilience products, solutions, or other investment opportunities.
