Climate Finance
The economic case for investing in climate adaptation is strong. Benefit-cost ratios range from 2:1 to 10:1. Yet, money is not flowing at the pace or scale needed and there is a need to shift the way investment decisions are made to account for climate risks, scaling up and deploying public finance more effectively, scaling disaster risk finance and insurance, as well as harnessing private capital for resilience.

A climate-resilient recovery, with new measures and commitments from public and private sectors
